A larger statistical basis and a wider application area of the PMV equation in the Fanger model: application area of the PMV equation

For sedentary activities, the PMV equation, derived by Fanger, is mainly based on research of Nevins et al. (720 test subjects). Nevins' experiments were later repeated but with 128 college-age Danish subjects and elderly subjects, instead American subjects. Rohles did from again, over a more extensive temperature range more, namely 1600, Rohles' results have been partly included in derivation PPD not for equation. experimental are published at time than publication thesis Fanger. The question arises: ‘If results, to what extent does that change equation application area regard validity, activities?'. In same way, as Fanger described his thesis, using Rohles’ experiment, this study limited wider −2 2, activities.
