Study Notes

Local Discomfort

  • High vertical air temperature difference, floor temperature, draught, and high radiant temperature asymmetry are types of local discomfort.

Additional Requirement 1: Vertical Air Temperature Difference

  • The vertical air temperature difference between head and ankles should be:
    • 3°C for category B
    • 2.1°C for category A
  • Categories and corresponding PPD% and PD (vertical Dt) are:
    • A: < 6% and < 3%
    • B: < 10% and < 5%
    • C: < 15% and < 10%

Additional Requirement 2: Floor Temperature

  • The floor temperature should be between 19°C and 26°C.
  • Specific temperatures are:
    • 20°C in winter
    • 26°C in summer
  • Categories and corresponding PPD% and PD (floor temp.) are:
    • A: < 6% and < 10%
    • B: < 10% and < 10%
    • C: < 15% and < 15%

Additional Requirement 3: Draught Rate

  • The Draught Rate depends on:
    • Air temperature
    • Mean air velocity
    • Turbulence intensity
  • Categories and corresponding PPD% and PD (DR) are:
    • A: < 6% and < 15%
    • B: < 10% and < 20%
    • C: < 15% and < 25%
  • UNI 10339 Standard requires:
    • va,max,winter ≤ 0.15 m/s
    • va,max,summer ≤ 0.25 m/s

Additional Requirement 4: Radiant Temperature Asymmetry

  • The plane radiant temperature asymmetry should be less than:
    • 10°C in winter
    • 23°C in summer
  • Categories and corresponding PPD% and PD (Radiant asymmetry) are:
    • A: < 6% and < 5%
    • B: < 10% and < 5%
    • C: < 15% and < 10%
