ATLANTA — An updated tool from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is designed to provide a user-friendly interface to predict thermal comfort, based on the Society’s standard for thermal environmental conditions.
ASHRAE Thermal Comfort Tool, Version 2, maintains consistency with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55-2010, Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy. The standard specifies the combinations of indoor thermal environmental factors and personal factors that will produce thermal environmental conditions acceptable to a majority of the occupants within the space.
