摘要
PMV(Predicted Mean Vote) is a widely used index for evaluating the thermal environment.However,few studies have been conducted to take physiological values directly as evaluating indices.This paper assumes a linear relation between body temperature and both sweating rate and heat produced by shivering,and introduces the linear relation into the human heat balance equation to revise the classic PMV.And the assumption of linear relation is subsequently proved.The revised PMV possesses the same characteristic of dependent heat load as that of the classic one,and moreover it is convenient to be calculated.
