2、rence: This request for interpretation refers to the requirements in ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170-2013, Section 7.1.a.2, regarding providing for comfort. Background: Standard 170 (S170) 7.1.a.2 states that the criteria in Table 7.1 are intended to “provide for comfort”. In ASHRAEs standards, comfor

3、t is also covered by ASHRAE Standard 55- Thermal Comfort for Human Occupancy (S55). The methodologies of the two are notably different. S70 prescribes air temperature, air flow, and relative humidity ranges. S55 predicts comfort by using multiple variables (including but not limited to air temperate

4、, speed and humidity) and comparing combinations of variables to known human comfort responses. Using the S55 methodology: For typical occupant types, assuming compliant air speed and a zero degree difference between radiant and air temperatures, the nominal temperature ranges for S55 compliance are

19、 and PPD of S170 Temperature and Humidity Criteria Interpretation: The criteria in Table 7.1 fully provide for comfort. Compliance to Standard 170 yields spaces that comply with the scope, purpose and intent of ASHRAE Standard 55 without further analysis. Question: Is this interpretation correct? Answer: No Comments: Compliance with Standard 170 -2013 does not assure compliance with Standard 55 -2013.
