  2. File:Temperature-relative humidity chart - PMV method.pdf

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Temperature-relative...

    The representation is made on a temperature-relative humidity, instead of a standard psychrometric chart. The comfort zone in blue represents the 90% of acceptability, which means the conditions between -0.5 and +0.5 PMV, or PPD < 10%.

  3. Thermal comfort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort

    The results are displayed on a psychrometric or a temperature-relative humidity chart and indicate the ranges of temperature and relative humidity that will be comfortable with the given the values input for the remaining four parameters. [44] The PMV/PPD model has a low prediction accuracy. [45]

  4. ASHRAE 55 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASHRAE_55

    For humidity ratios above 0.012 kg H 2 O/kg dry air (0.012 lb H 2 O/lb dry air), or for metabolic rates up to 2.0 met, the analytical model must be used to determine thermal comfort sensation. Also based on the PMV model, this method uses tools such as the ASHRAE Thermal Comfort Tool or the online CBE Thermal Comfort Tool for ASHRAE 55 [ 2 ] to ...

  5. Psychrometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrometrics

    Metric (SI): Using a dry bulb of 25 °C and a wet bulb of 20 °C, read the relative humidity at approximately 63.5%. U.S/Imperial (IP): Using a dry bulb of 77 °F and a wet bulb of 68 °F, read the relative humidity at approximately 63.5%. In this example the humidity ratio is 0.0126 kg water per kg dry air.

  6. Dry-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry-bulb_temperature

    The dry-bulb temperature is one of the main input for thermal comfort calculations and it is also used for assessing the heat transfer by convection. The dry-bulb temperature is an important variable in psychrometrics, being the horizontal axis of a psychrometric chart.

  7. Humidex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex

    The humidity adjustment approximately amounts to one Fahrenheit degree for every millibar by which the partial pressure of water in the atmosphere exceeds 10 millibars (10 hPa). At the time the humidex was originally developed in 1965, Canada was still on the Fahrenheit scale , and thus the humidex was originally based on that.

    Summertime, and the livin’ is...a sweat fest. Ew. If only it were as easy as singing an Ella Fitzgerald song to transform sticky summers into something nice and breezy. Enter: cooling shirts. If ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature

    In the recent past, it was common for house temperatures to be kept below the comfort level; a 1978 UK study found average indoor home temperatures to be 15.8 °C (60.4 °F) while Japan in 1980 had median home temperatures of 13 °C (55 °F) to 15 °C (59 °F). [12]
