Development of an adaptation table to enhance the accuracy of the predicted mean vote model [PDF]
Building and Environment, 2020 The Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) model is extensively used by current thermal comfort standards, such as ASHRAE 55 and ISO 7730, despite its discrepancy in predicting Thermal Sensation (TS). The implicit assumption is that PMV can be applied for predicting TS of a large population.
