[Equest-users] Can you use eQuest for PMV calculations?

[Kathryn Kerns]

Alex, ASHRAE sells a Thermal Comfort program which will do these calculations for you based on temperature, humidity, air speed, etc. It doesn't cost much and is easy to use. Check the ASHRAE website for things to purchase.

Hi Jason,

 

I'm under the impression that eQUEST can't output surface temperatures which are needed to calculate PMV values.

 

I think an EnergyPlus based program might be a better place to look. I would ask on the Bldg-Sim list for recommendations as it has a broader user-base (this list is eQUEST specific).

 

Good luck,

Alex

Is it possible to use an eQuest model to do thermal comfort PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) calculations per ASHRAE 55/RP884?

If not are there any recommendations?
