“…In India, a study was carried out with young male university students in a semi-controlled environment demonstrating that the PMV model overestimated the actual sensation vote (ASV) of people (subjects are less sensitive -more tolerant-to hot but more sensitive to cold) [179,180]. In South Korea, young adults participated in a study in a semi-controlled environment; PMV presented good correlation with ASV, but not with the votes of thermal comfort (authors stated that PMV may be inappropriate to control the indoor environment in order to establish thermal comfort) [181].…”

“…[22][23][24] However, multiple pieces of evidence have shown that the PMV model is not generally applicable in every building and climate zone. [25][26][27][28][29][30] Given the aforementioned evidence and interest for architectural design and building engineering in ascertaining whether the discrepancies found in other countries and climatic zones regarding the PMV model of thermal sensation are also applicable to Portugal, the study reported in this article focuses on a Portuguese sample of young adults. The current study hence contributes to ascertain the level of validity of the PMV model of thermal sensation, by investigating the differences (with statistical significance assessed) between self-assessed thermal sensation and PMV.…”

Thermal comfort is one of the most important ergonomic aspects of building occupancy. In this research, laboratory experiments are performed in a climatic chamber and described in detail. Experiments are carried out under two scenarios: with two different college students cohorts and with five different but comparable experimental conditions in each cohort. Three hundred twenty‐two individual assessments under specific controlled thermal environment conditions are collected. The actual thermal sensation assessments obtained in the experiments are compared to the results obtained by a predicted mean vote (PMV) model. The correlation analysis shows that statistically significant differences are meaningful between the spring‐summer and the autumn‐winter experiments but not between genders. This paper discusses the plausible factors contributing to the different correlations experienced in the autumn‐winter and spring‐summer experiments. A correction factor between PMV according to Fanger's comfort equation and the actual thermal sensation values reported by the participants is also sought with a focus on the seasonal effects. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental results. This allows for further considerations about the influence of the season on the initial thermal sensations experienced by young adults.

“…De acordo com outros estudos, o modelo de Fanger pode também apresentar inadequação em espaços condicionados artificialmente de climas subtropicais durante os períodos mais quentes, como em Taiwan (HWANG et al, 2009), Hong Kong (FONG;CHOW;LI, 2010) e Índia (MAITI, 2013(MAITI, , 2014. Na Malásia, o super-resfriamento foi indicado como o principal problema observado nas comparações entre os votos reais e os votos estimados (DAGHIGH; SOPIAN, 2009).…”

“…No norte da Itália (RICCIARDI; BURATTI, 2012), na China (CAO et al, 2011) Com base nessa discussão, é possível concluir que quando se trata de conforto térmico em espaços internos condicionados artificialmente, pode haver discrepâncias entre o que é predito e o que é real. Tais discrepâncias ocorrem com frequência nas edificações de climas mais quentes ou durante os períodos mais quentes em edificações de climas amenos, independentemente do modo de climatização em operação no ambiente (HWANG et al, 2009;HENS, 2009;FONG;CHOW;LI, 2010;CAO et al, 2011;RICCIARDI;BURATTI, 2012;MAITI, 2013MAITI, , 2014 …”
