Integrated Modeling to Predict Occupant Thermal Comfort
The two primary functions of a vehicle climate control system are safety through de-icing and de-fogging windows, and occupant thermal comfort. However, vehicle air-conditioning systems can significantly impact fuel economy and tailpipe emissions of conventional and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and reduce electric vehicle (EV) range. In order to meet the new U. S. Supplemental Federal Test P...
متن کاملHot in Here: Office Occupant Thermal Comfort in Lawrence Hall
This case study investigated office occupant thermal comfort in Lawrence Hall. More specifically, it focused on the winter heating season thermal comfort in these office spaces. In a building that is composed of approximately seven major additions and/or renovations spanning nearly a century, the variety of heating and ventilation systems varies greatly. The combination of qualitative and quant...
متن کاملThermal comfort and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is considered the last preferred solution to an Occupational Safety Health (OSH) system. Brazilian OSH legislation assumes and requires PPE usage to neutralize the possibility of pesticide contamination. This study examines the inadequacy of the PPE used in a tomato crop, particularly from the standpoint of thermal comfort. This study made observations regard...
متن کاملThermal comfort assessment in comfort-prone workplaces.
This paper's main issue is a strong advocacy in favour of an a priori classification of thermal environments that can be really functional to comfort assessment: Class 1, environments where comfort conditions can be established (comfort-prone environments), and Class 2, environments where this is not practically feasible. The former, which are also identified here as 'thermally unconstrained' e...
متن کاملModels for the indices of thermal comfort
The current paper propose the analysis and extension formulation required for establishing decision in the management of the medical national system from the point of view of quality and efficiency such as: conceiving models for the indices of thermal comfort, defining the predicted mean vote (on the thermal sensation scale) "PMV", defining the metabolism "M", heat transfer between the human bo...
