My latest article, "Managing a Home¡¯s Air Temperature Based on the PMV Comfort Model¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.
Since the development of modern heating and cooling systems for homes, people have managed their operation by simply selecting a temperature "set point".? However, that approach doesn't focus on what is really important; whether the occupants of the home are comfortable, or not.? This article looks at the practical application of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineer (ASHRAE) standard 55 which focuses on thermal comfort instead of set points when heating / cooling a home.
