The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of assessing the diurnal variation of PMV thermal comfort index by introducing the Representative Day technique in order to obtain information on correlation between thermal comfort and meteorological parameters. The representative day is constituted by the actual data of the day, in the considered period, where the sum of the mean-square differences among its evaluated or monitored quantities, averaged within each hour, and the same quantities for all other days at the same hour is minimised. This technique can prove to be a very important tool for identifying both anomalous and standard behaviours of comfort indices within the selected period in outdoor urban spaces. In this paper a preliminary evaluation of the methodology for the representative day of PMV index is presented.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of assessing the diurnal variation of PMV thermal comfort index by introducing the Representative Day technique in order to obtain information on correlation between thermal comfort and meteorological parameters. The representative day is constituted by the actual data of the day, in the considered period, where the sum of the mean-square differences among its evaluated or monitored quantities, averaged within each hour, and the same quantities for all other days at the same hour is minimised. This technique can prove to be a very important tool for identifying both anomalous and standard behaviours of comfort indices within the selected period in outdoor urban spaces. In this paper a preliminary evaluation of the methodology for the representative day of PMV index is presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
