Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.8P
An occupied space is being held at 76 F (24 C) and 50 percent relative humidity. A measurement of the globe temperature gives 80 F (27 C), and the mean air velocity is determined to be 30 fpm (0.15 m/s). Is this facility comfortable for sedentary functions of a mixed group in light clothing in the summer? If not, how would you attempt to change the situation?
