A thermal sensation prediction tool for use by the profession.

Author(s) : FOUNTAIN M. E., HUIZENGA C.

Summary

As part of a recent ASHRAE research project (781-RP), a thermal sensation prediction tool has been developed. The paper introduces the tool, describes the component thermal sensation models, and presents examples of how the tool can be used in practice. Since the main end product of the HVAC industry is the comfort of occupants indoors, tools for predicting occupant thermal response can be an important asset to designers of indoor climate control systems. The software tool presented in the paper incorporates several existing models for predicting occupant comfort.
