Document Summary

Establishing a comfort zone: the comfort zone is established by predicted mean vote that states the average amount of how comfortable people feel in an environment. In any case, it is extremely rare to be at 100% thermal satisfaction: ashrea only requires that 80% of all occupants are satisfied. Individual preferences are based on internal and external controls: the predicted mean vote is the difference between the internal heat production and heat loss to the environment. Is the set of conditions that allows your body to stay at the normal body temperature with the minimal amount of energy being used for metabolic regulation: this can also be described through the zeroth law of. Thermodynamics: states that if 2 systems are in thermal equilibrium with a 3rd system, they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. Ideally should be 72 for cooling to conserve energy.
