As an index of comfort, the temperature of saturated air at which a person would experience the same feeling of comfort as experienced in the actual unsaturated environment is called the Correct Answer Effective temperature

Concept:

  • The temperature at which motionless saturated air would induce, in a sedentary worker wearing ordinary indoor clothing, the same sensation of comfort as that induced by the actual conditions of temperature, humidity, and air movement.
  • The effective temperature is used as a guide in air-conditioning practice, and, on the comfort chart (American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers), it appears as a family of curves that serves as one coordinate in defining comfort zones.
