The validity of predicted mean vote for air‐conditioned offices
Facilities, 2005PurposeTo examine the role of predicted mean vote (PMV) in air‐conditioned environments by conducting a thermal comfort study.Design/methodology/approachA formal statistical approach was adopted for the credibility of the study. Thermal measurements and questionnaire filling were carried out in commercial offices to collect the required data ...

Optimization of predicted mean vote thermal comfort index within Model Predictive Control framework
2012 IEEE 51st IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2012Recently, Model Predictive Control (MPC) for buildings has undergone an intensive research. Usually, according to the international standards, a static range for the air temperature represents the thermal comfort which is being kept making use of MPC while minimizing the energy consumption.

A review on predicted mean vote and adaptive thermal comfort models
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2012This paper presents a literature review of the Fanger’s predicted mean vote and adaptive thermal comfort models developed in different buildings and climates. An important premise of this paper is the fact that Fanger’s model underestimates the thermal impression in the actual case and thus is no longer valid for use in certain climates.

Study on thermal comfort by using an atmospheric pressure dependent predicted mean vote index
Building and Environment, 2021Abstract The thermal environment index Predicted Mean Vote is a descriptor largely applied to evaluate the comfort sensation of people in moderate environments. Software tools based on the Fanger's method have been created and used, which application is limited for the sea level atmospheric pressure.

Energy and Buildings, 2012
Abstract Recently, there has been an intensive research in the area of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for buildings. The key principle of MPC is a trade-off between energy savings and user welfare making use of predictions of disturbances acting on the system (ambient temperature, solar radiation, occupancy, etc.). Usually, according to international

A new approach for measuring predicted mean vote (PMV) and standard effective temperature (SET∗)
Building and Environment, 2003Abstract 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. Based on detailed discussions on calculating and measuring the equivalent temperature, predicted mean vote (PMV) and ...

Uncertainty in the evaluation of the Predicted Mean Vote index using Monte Carlo analysis
Journal of Environmental Management, 2018Today, evaluation of thermohygrometric indoor conditions is one of the most useful tools for building design and re-design and can be used to determine energy consumption in conditioned buildings. Since the beginning of the Predicted Mean Vote index (PMV), researchers have thoroughly investigated its issues in order to reach more accurate results ...
