Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Analytical determination and interpretation of thermal comfort using calculation of the PMV and PPD indices and local thermal comfort criteria
The purpose of this International Standard is• to present a method for predicting the general thermal sensation and the degree of discomfort (thermal dissatisfaction) of people exposed to moderate thermal environments.• to specify acceptable thermal environmental conditions for general and local thermal comfortThe International Standard applies to healthy men and women. The standard applies to people exposed to indoor environments where the aim is to attain thermal comfort, or indoor environments where moderate deviations from comfort occur. In extreme thermal environments other International Standards apply (ISO 7243, ISO 7933, ISO TR 11079). Deviations ma
