PMV–PPD and acceptability in naturally ventilated schools
Building and Environment, 2013 The assessment of moderate thermal environments provided with HVAC system is usually carried out by means of the PMV and the PPD indices. The reliability of the PMV to predict the thermal sensation in non-air conditioned environments has been criticized in the past.

A larger statistical basis and a wider application area of the PMV equation in the Fanger model: application area of the PMV equation [PDF]
Intelligent Buildings International, 2021 For sedentary activities, the PMV equation, derived by Fanger, is mainly based on the research of Nevins et al. (720 test subjects). Nevins' experiments were later on repeated by Fanger, but with 128 college-age Danish subjects and 128 elderly Danish subjects, instead of American subjects. Rohles did the research from Nevins et al.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1999 The purpose of this study was to assess the immediate and long-term outcome of repeat percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMV) for post-PMV mitral restenosis.Symptomatic mitral restenosis develop in 7% to 21% of patients after PMV. Currently, most of these patients are referred for mitral valve replacement.

Energies, 2023 Since P.O. Fanger proposed PMV, it has been the most widely used index to estimate thermal comfort. However, in some cases, it is challenging to measure all six parameters within indoor spaces, which are essential for PMV estimation; a couple of ...

Research on the BPNN in the Prediction of PMV
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2010 In view of the problem that it is difficult to calculate the Fanger’s PMV equation due to its complicated iterative process, a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) model was built to predict PMV. Air temperature, relative humidity, mean radiant temperature, air velocity, metabolic rate and clothing index were used as the input of neural network and ...

The role of measurement accuracy on the thermal environment assessment by means of PMV index
Building and Environment, 2011 ISO 7730 Standard classifies thermal environments in three categories as a function of the PMV range value, gradually decreasing according to the need of a lower dissatisfied percentage.

A New General Formulation for the PMV Thermal Comfort Index
Buildings, 2022 The PMV index forms the basis of international thermal comfort standards. PMV was developed based on empirical relationships between the metabolic rate of activity and the body mean skin temperature and evaporative heat loss under the comfort conditions.

A new approach for measuring predicted mean vote (PMV) and standard effective temperature (SET∗)
Building and Environment, 2003 Comfort index-based control has become the tendency of the development of new HVAC control systems, while an effective sensor for thermal comfort index is indispensable to a successful comfort index-based HVAC control system.

Adaptive thermal comfort explained by PMV [PDF]
, 2008 Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) is a well known example of a thermal comfort performance indicator. Alternative indicators have gained interest over the last decade. Developments are found in higher resolution indicators, applying, e.g. thermo-physiological models.

Thermal Comfort and Energy Efficiency on Air-Conditioned University Classrooms by means of CFD-Simulation [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 This paper proposed a method to forecast thermal comfort conditions and energy efficiently in air-conditioned classrooms. Room comfort parameters such as temperature and wind speed are simulated using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool.
