Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Effective temperature

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Directly from the documentation:
The Pierce model also converts the actual environment
into a environment at an Effective
Temperature, ET*, that is the dry-bulb temperature of a hypothetical
environment at 50%
relative humidity and uniform temperature (Ta = MRT) where the subjects
would experience
the same physiological strain as in the real environment.

Other thermal comfort models may use ET differently.

Dear

Linda sir

I searched the full help document of energy plus there is no way to calculate or directly get the effective temperature in output variables.

plz help us because we need to calculate PMV-Predicted mean vote for Indian climatic conditions by this way only.


thx in advance

Let me repeat -- i searched the documentation -- main menu -- do the

search on "effective temperature' and came up with several places for the

definition of the calculations.

EnergyPlus documentation main menu has a "search button" -- uses the index

we build to search all the documents.
