Cooling Effect
Description
Function to calculate cooling effect (CE) of elevated air velocities using the standard effective temperature (SET).
Usage
calcCE(ta, tr, vel, rh, clo = 0.5, met = 1, wme = 0)
Arguments
ta |
a numeric value presenting air temperature in [degree C] |
tr |
a numeric value presenting mean radiant temperature in [degree C] |
vel |
a numeric value presenting air velocity in [m/s] |
rh |
a numeric value presenting relative humidity [%] |
clo |
a numeric value presenting clothing insulation level in [clo] |
met |
a numeric value presenting metabolic rate in [met] |
wme |
a numeric value presenting external work in [met] |
Details
The CE of the elevated air velocity is the difference in SET between conditions with given air velocities and still air. The cooling effect should be calculated only for air velocities higher than 0.2 m/s.
Value
ce - Cooling Effect in [degree C]
