Definition

A predictive thermal-comfort model that estimates the average thermal sensation (Predicted Mean Vote, PMV) of a large group of occupants from a steady-state heat-balance formulation using six inputs: metabolic rate, clothing insulation, air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air velocity, and air humidity, mapping the computed thermal strain to a standardized sensation scale.
