Abstract
The development of a simulation computer program for predicting occupant thermal comfort in new buildings is described. The assessment of comfort is performed using the Fanger algorithm and scales—the Predicted Mean Vote and the Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied. A case study demonstrating the use of this design aid is presented, and discussion is offered regarding field tests concerning the Fanger model as previously reported by Howell and Kennedy.
