Acceptability in [boolean]
Arguments
ta
a numeric value presenting air temperature in [degree C]
tr
a numeric value presenting mean radiant temperature in [degree C]
vel
a numeric value presenting air velocity in [m/s]
rh
a numeric value presenting relative humidity [%]

Code implemented in to R by Shoaib Sarwar. Further contribution by Marcel Schweiker.
Details
Calculates the percentage of thermally dissatisfied people with the ankle draft (0.1 m) above floor level.This equation is only applicable for velocity < 0.2 m/s (40 fps)
