It is desired to use a space in a school as both a large classroom some of the time and a basketball court at other times. Assume that the basketball players are dressed with clo=0.2 and are active at met= 3. Also assume the operative temperature is the same as the air temperature and that RH can be maintained at 40% at all times.
(a) What thermostat settings would you recommend for summers? and winters? (4 answers are expected one for each type of use) (Begin by selecting appropriate conditions for sedentary people from ASHRAE comfort chart and adjust for met and clo)
(b) What percentage of the sedentary spectators in normal seasonal attire might be dissatisfied in the summer? in the winter?
