Abstract

Thermal comfort standards determine indoor conditions in buildings as well as the energy consumption for heating and cooling purposes. Existing thermal comfort standards are based
on steady-state thermal conditions, and according to recent research these standards can not describe thermal comfort accurately enough with transient boundary conditions. In this paper, a method based on Hui (2003) is presented to calculate local and overall human body thermal sensations in time dependent and non-uniform. In addition, local and overall thermal comfort predictions can be performed based on these thermal sensation values.
