Predicted mean vote (pmv) と predicted percentage dissatisfied (ppd) for indoor thermal comfort.

thermalcomfortpmv

Overview

Thermal comfort is defined as the condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment (ASHRAE 55). The most widely used model is the PMV-PPD model by Fanger (ISO 7730).

PMV Scale

PMV Sensation
+3 Hot
+2 Warm
+1 Slightly warm
0 Neutral
−1 Slightly cool
−2 Cool
−3 Cold

The target for comfort: 0.5<PMV<+0.5-0.5 < PMV < +0.5

PPD — Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied

PPD=10095exp(0.03353PMV40.2179PMV2)PPD = 100 - 95 \cdot \exp\left(-0.03353 \cdot PMV^4 - 0.2179 \cdot PMV^2\right)

Factors Affecting PMV

Factor Variable Typical Office Value
Air temperature TaT_a 22–24 °C
Mean radiant temp. TrT_r TaT_a
Air velocity vav_a < 0.2 m/s
Relative humidity RHRH 40–60%
Metabolic rate MM 1.2 met (seated office)
Clothing insulation IclI_{cl} 0.5–1.0 clo

Note: Even at PMV = 0, at least 5% of occupants will be dissatisfied — this is the minimum possible PPD.
