Thermal comfort models for outdoor thermal comfort in warm humid climates and probabilities of low wind speeds
AbstractWith continuing rapid growth in the warm humid regions of the U.S.A. along the Gulf Coast, interest is increasing in the evaluation of airflow for thermal comfort. Both indoor and outdoor conditions are of interest. Indoor conditions have been the subject of research for many years supported by organizations such as ASHRAE Inc., but much less work has been done on outdoor thermal comfort.As an initial step in developing a technique for estimating the probability of outdoor thermal comfort, a review is made of two thermal comfort models suited to outdoor applications. The first model is the WBGT index developed by Yaglou & Minard (1957) for which direct reading instruments are available. The second describes comfort zones based on readily available National Weather Service Data suggested by Macfarlane (1958).The principal difficulty in modeling outdoor thermal comfort is the complex effects of intense asymmetrical radiant heat gain from the sun and nearby heated surfaces. Both of the comfort models described can accept high radiation. Probability distribution for low wind speeds are discussed.
