Abstract:

The thermal comfort of the cotton textile worshop was researched based on national standards and related thermal comfort study. The thermal comfort parameters were measured to derive the predicted mean vote (PMV) and predicted percentage dissatisfied (PPD). Comparison of the PMV and thermal sensation vote (TSV), PPD and thermal satisfaction (TS) show applicability of PMV-PPD system to thermal comfort in cotton textile workshop. For cotton textile workshop, the PMV value and the TSV value is higher than the required range of related national standards and international standards. Considering the actual condition of Chinese textile workshop, the required PMV value should be extended when PMV-PPD system to describe the thermal environment of textile workshop. The PMV range of textile workshop is suggested as: -0.5

Key words: thermal comfort, predicted mean vote, predicted percentage dissatisfied, thermal satisfaction vote, thermal satisfaction
