| description | Thermal comfort is vital in office building for work performance
improvement. This paper compares the thermal comfort in the naturally ventilated
and mechanically ventilated office building in tropical wet Savanna (India) and winter
Mediterranean climates (United Kingdom). The data was retrieved from the
ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II and statistically analyzed by SPSS.
Total of 160 samples were retrieved from the database and the correlation between
thermal comfort parameters with PMV index value and linear regression analysis was
conducted. Results of the study shows that for the naturally ventilated office, the
thermal comfort temperature range was between 22.60℃ to 25.47℃ for India and
wider range of 17.47℃ to 24.38℃ for the United Kingdom. On the other hand, the
thermal comfort temperature range for a mechanically ventilated office in India was
between 26.16℃ to 27.06℃ while for the United Kingdom, was between 20.63℃ to
24.94℃. In conclusion, wider thermal comfort range was found in the United
Kingdom for both type of office ventilation especially for the naturally ventilated
office. This was in the same agreement with the lower level or relative humidity, air
velocity and higher clothing insulation value among the United Kingdom respondent. |
