ASHRAE Proposes Revisions to Thermal Comfort Standard
Proposed revisions to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers’ (ASHRAE) thermal comfort standard include the addition of an equation for assessing thermal comfort.
ASHRAE Standard 55-1992R, “Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy,” specifies the combinations of indoor thermal environmental factors and personal factors that will product thermal environmental conditions acceptable to a majority of the occupants within the space.
