Summary

Under warm conditions, ceiling fans and cooling panels provide an inexpensive way of improving human thermal comfort. It is expected that ceiling fans and cooling panels controlled automatically according to thermal comfort indices can keep occupants' thermal comfort at a certain level, even under changing conditions. In this paper, two indices used for control were evaluated. One was the PMV and the other was the mean body temperature simulated with a 2-node model. The complete tests are reported.
