PPD with Vertical Air Temperature Gradient
Description
Function to calculate vertical air temperature gradient using the predicted percentage of dissatisfied.
Usage
calcVTG(ta, tr, vel, rh, clo, met, v_tmp_grad)
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] |
v_tmp_grad |
vertical temperature gradient between the feet and the head [degree C/m] |
Details
Calculates the percentage of thermally dissatisfied persons with a vertical temperature gradient between feet and head. Applicable only for velocity(vel) < 0.2 m/s
Value
Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied with vertical temperature gradient in [%]
Acceptability in [boolean]
