Hi Andy,

Could you give a look to Fanger PMV values in the attatched file?

I don't understand why I get negative values even with air temperatures, and operative temperatures, around 24ºC.


best regards,

Miguel

Miguel,

Low PMV output in the zones SM and escada is caused by very low levels of metabolic activity (sleeping). In reality an average occupant would be uncomfortably cool when sleeping with a light summer clothes on in temperatures of 24°C.

Regards

Andy

Hi Andy,

Thank you. I didn’t notice I was getting results from other zones.
I’m interested just in RC zone.

The monthly results are from the occupied period or all hours?

Best regards,

Miguel

PMV comfort data is reported in exactly the same way as all the other data - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Note that in ASHRAE 55 comfort output only the occupied periods are considered.
