Abstract: The thermal environment index Predicted Mean Vote is a descriptor largely applied to evaluate the comfort sensation of people in moderate environments. Software tools based on the Fanger's method have been created and used, which application is limited for the sea level atmospheric pressure. A procedure for estimating the index of thermal comfort of individuals in environments at air pressure different from barometric pressure 0 m of altitude was recently introduced. In present study, indoor air state associated with neutral thermal comfort con...
