How do you prove Thermal Comfort compliance via Energy Modeling?
I use DesignBuilder and I am tasked with proving LEED Thermal Comfort compliance which is basically ASHRAE 55 in that regard. What kind of reports and documentation shall I provide?
If we are talking about PMV and PPD then my guess is that there must be a limit on how many Thermal Comfort-wise Unmet Hours are allowed in a year.
Am I missing something?
Hi there, I wonder the same. It is not evident anywhere in the standard if this requirement should be met for every single hour or if there is a maximum discomfort % hours allowed. In LEED if I am not mistaken the winter design hour and the summer design hour should be used. Could someone confirm this?
Thanks
