Thermal Comfort Test and Analysis of an Office Building in Winter

Abstract

In this paper, an office building's indoor environmental parameters in winter are tested and its comfort and its influencing factors are analyzed. The study used a thermal comfort equipment to obtain parameters including dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, black ball temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. Then these parameters are available to calculate PMV-PPD. The results showed that the range of PMV mean value is from-0.83 to 0.58 and the range of PPD mean value is from 8 % to 22 %.
