BS EN ISO 7730:2006 Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Analytical determination and interpretation of thermal comfort using calculation of the PMV and PPD indices and local thermal comfort criteria
This International Standard presents methods for predicting the general thermal sensation and degree of
discomfort (thermal dissatisfaction) of people exposed to moderate thermal environments. It enables the
analytical determination and interpretation of thermal comfort using calculation of PMV (predicted mean vote)
and PPD (predicted percentage of dissatisfied) and local thermal comfort criteria, giving the environmental
conditions considered acceptable for general thermal comfort as well as those representing local discomfort. It
is applicable to healthy men and women exposed to indoor environments where thermal comfort is desirable,
but where moderate deviations from thermal comfort occur, in the design of new environments or the
assessment of existing ones. Although developed specifically for the work environment, it is applicable to
other kinds of environment as well. It is intended to be used with reference to ISO/TS 14415:2005, 4.2, when
considering persons with special requirements, such as those with physical disabilities. Ethnic, national or
geographical differences need also to be taken into account when considering non-conditioned spaces.
