This package contains several functions to calculate and evaluate a series of comfort indices.

To create input parameters, the function createCond, which creates a list of input parameters may be helpful.
The main function of this packages is calcComfInd, which returns the desired comfort parameters. However, each index can be computed using its own function, e.g. to calculate only PMV the function calcPMV can be used.
The comfort indices calculated within this package are for example as follows. To get further information, go to the help page, which can be accessed using the index below e.g. ?pmv:
| Index | Description |
| pmv | Predicted mean vote (PMV) |
| ppd | Predicted precentage dissatisfied (PPD) |
| tnHumphreysNV | Neutral temperature in naturally ventilated buildings according to Humphreys 1978 |
| tnHumphreysAC | Neutral temperature in climate-controlled buildings according to Humphreys 1978 |
| tnAuliciems | Neutral temperature according to Auliciems 1981 |
| tAdapt15251 | Adaptive comfort temperature according to EN 15251 |
| dTNZ | Distance to thermoneutral zone |
| ATHBpmv | Adaptive thermal heat balance vote based on pmv |
| ATHBset | Adaptive standard effective temperature |
| ATHBpts | Adaptive thermal heat balance vote based on set |
| apmv | Adaptive predicted mean vote according to Yao et al. |
| ptsa | Adaptive predicted thermal sensation vote according to Gao et al. |
| epmv | PMV adjusted with expectancy factor based on Fanger and toftum |
| ptse | Predicted thermal sensation vote based on set and adjusted with expectancy factor according to Gao et al. |
| set | standard effective temperature based on two node model by Gagge et al. |
| et | Effective temperature based on two node model by Gagge et al. |
| tsens | Predicted thermal sensation |
| disc | Predicted discomfort |
| ps | Predicted percentage satisfied with the level of air movement |
| pd | Predicted percentage dissatisfied due to draft |
| pts | Predicted thermal sensation vote based on set |
| HBxst | Human body exergy consumption rate using steady state method |
| PHS | Predicted heat strain |
The performance criteria included in this package are presented below. Again you can get further information on the corresponding help pages:
| Index | Description |
| meanBias | Mean bias between predicted and observed thermal sensation vote |
| TPR | True positive rate |
| avgAcc | Average accuracy of predicted thermal sensation vote |
