Thermal Comfort
• “that condition of mind that expresses satisfaction ” .
• The main objective of the HVAC systems is to provide thermal comfort and is one of the main causes for energy consumption in buildings.
• The thermal comfort felt by individuals depend not only on the ambient conditions (general) as well as conditions from the persons (particular).

Human Metabolism and
Body Temperature
• Metabolism is the energy produced by the aliments
oxidation that is used for work and the remainder is
dissipated as heat to the environment.
• The usefull work can be quantified by the variation of
kinetic or potential energy but in many activities is ~0!
• The metabolism and hence the heat to dissipate
depends a lot on the human activity and person mass
while heat transfer depends on body surface, clothes.• The body temperature should be close to 37ºC while
the skin temperature is about 32‐33ºC.
Heat Balance to Person
M‐W=qsk+qres +S
Heat is transfered to the environment
through the skin or respiration and the
rest is used to accumulate energy (S)
The heat transfer has sensible and
S = rate of energy acumulation in the body W/m2
• All values are expressed by body area for convenience and the body area is
correlated with height and mass of the person.
Extracted from ASHRAE (2009) F09‐C.9 latent contributions.
DuBois area
• The ‘standard’ person is 1.73 m tall,
weights 70 kg and has an area of 1.8 m2.

MetabolismExtracted from ASHRAE (2009) F09‐C.9
Values of metabolism are available for
different activities and for convenience
the unit met is defined as correspondent
to a person sitted and to a value of 58.1
W/m2 or 104 W for the standard person.
(Sensible) Heat loss through skin• The heat loss through skin in part of the body as to cross
the clothes and therefore is directly affected by these.
• The heat conduction throuh the clothes is characterised by
the clothes heat transfer resistance (Rcl in m2K/W) that also
increases the external area available for heat transfer ( f cl ).
• The heat is then transfered from the external surface of
the clothes in parallel by convection and radiation to the
environment.

Convection heat transfer
There are (very) different correlations proposed.
In genera epen on velocity and distinguish the effects of natural or forced convection.
The ISO 7730 (2nd Ed. 1994) considers the maximum from the following correlations:
h=2.38 (tcl‐t
air)0.25
h=12.1 v0.5
Radiation heat transfer
• The building materials in general have large emissivities and
due to the larger dimensions of the room surfaces compared
to the person are aproximated as black bodies.
• Due to the small differences in the absolute temperatures the
radiation heat transfer rate can be linearized and a typical
value for clothes emissivity is 0.95 leading to hr = 4.5 W/m2K
• The radiation temperature can be calculated from shape
factors and the temperature of surfaces (floor, walls, ceiling)

Measurement of temperature

The figures show the measurement of the three temperatures:
Air (dry); humid temperature and global temperature.
A anemometer is also required and there is a model for omnidirection velocity.
Clothes I• The heat transfer resistance of
clothes are expressed in clo units 1 clo = 0.155 m2K/W
• 1 clo ~ winter indoor clothes
• The cloth factor f cl represents the area increase for heat transfer and in ASHRAE is aproximated by
• In ISO7730 it is given by:
• f cl = 1 + 1.29 Rcl for Rcl 0.078
• ASHRAE defines also mass transfer characteristics not considered here

Clothes II• Heat transfer resistances may be calculated from the sum of
contributions of individual garnments or by
When the person is sitted for example an aditional insulation should be considered of 0.1 clo
Operative and clothes temperature
• The definition of the radiation convection coefficient allows
the definition of an operative temperature (t 0):
• From the equality of the heat through the clothes and the
convection/radiation the clothes temperature can be
eliminated and the sensible heat transfer rate is thus:
• The ISO 7730 keeps the general formulation of the heat
balance and the clothes temperature is obtained from:

(Latent) Heat loss through skin
• The latent heat loss through the skin is due to transpiration and depends on the partial pressures of moisture close to the skin ( p ) and in the air ( p ), the fraction of wetted surface (w) and ,the mass transfer resistance of the cloth (Re,cl ) and convection (he). The calculations are complex and we will use ISO7730.
• ISO7730 defines the heat losses due to transpiration and moisture diffusion as a function of metabolism and moisture pressure in air ( pa):
• The total heat loss through skin is then

Respiration• The respiration has also two contributions due to temperature
and moisture variations between the ambient air and the air expelled from the lungs. This is a minor contribution for heat loss.
• The heat losses are proportional to the metabolism and are defined in the same way by ASHRAE and ISO7730
• The moisture partial pressure in the air can be calculated from the product of the relative humidity and the saturation pressure
with M in W/m2, ta in ºC and pa in kPa

Energy accumulation and PMV
• The difference between the metabolism and the work done
and heat loss is the energy accumulation that in ASHRAE is
separa e n wo par s w e n on y n one:
• The rate of energy accumulation is directly related with the
comfort sensation and in ISO7730 is used to define the

ASHRAE 55
• Comfort conditions are defined in regions of the psycrometric
diagram for winter and summer based on assumed Met, Clo
and air velocity
When velocities are
changed there is a
correction for the
temperature values.
Adaptative comfort• The comfort conditions perceived by the persons depend on
the ambient air conditions outside the buildings.

the average outside temperature

Standard Effective Temperature
• ASHRAE also defines the SET Index that expresses the
result of temperature and humidity on discomfort
This type of graphs is used
to evaluate the discomfort
of workers in harsh
environments.
There is other index: Heat
stress index defined by the
capacity to dissipate heat by
transpiration that defines
the maximum time periods.
Conclusions• The definition of thermal comfort conditions
depends on human activity and clothes.
• There are quantitative methods to evaluate comfort
and statistical information to evaluate the level of
dissatisfied persons that will always exist.
• The heat balance allows to
– Analyse the impact of individual variables and to see how
they can be compensated by others.
– Evaluate the heat loads due to occupancy (sensible+latent)
In terms of legislation the reference conditions inside buildings are
25oC and 50% relative humidity in summer and 20oC in winter.
