ISO EN 7730 standardizes the PMV-PPD index as the method for evaluation of moderate thermal environments. To quantify the degree of comfort, the PMV (predicted mean vote) index gives a value on a 7-point thermal sensation scale -t-3 hot, +2 warm, +1 slightly warm, 0 neutral, -I slightly cool, -2 cool, -3 cold. An equation in the standard calculates the PMV index based on the six factors (clothing, activity, air and mean radiant temperatures, air speed, and humidity). 

It is not possible to suit everyone, so, although the PMV index provides a good overall measure of sensation, the PPD index provides a measure of dissatisfaction. The graph in Figure 13.2, used to plot the obtained PMV value, makes it possible to obtain an estimate of the percentage of people likely to be thermally dissatisfied. Generally, the goal is to achieve a PPD value of less than 10%. Values over 10% are normally taken as a cue to consider further interventions. 

The EsConTer index uses a range of -3 to 3 values to show the thermal sensations of a very cold to very hot environment, witch is equivalent to the 7-point ASHRAE thermal sensation scale (ASHRAE, 2004). Regarding EsConTer results range was also applied the PPD index (ANSF ASHRAE 55, 2013) in order to compare the results of both indexes, replacing PMV index by EsConTer index, as shown in formula ... 

This PPD index establishes a quantitative prediction of the percentage of thermally dissatisfied people. 

The PPD index was applied to discover the percentage of unsatisfied workstations in the packaging section. The observation of Figure 6 shows that in case of packaging. A thermal discomfort is less that in case of packaging B, because in first case only 44% of workers are thermally uncomfortable and in second case 70% of workers are thermally uncomfortable. This means that different situations of packaging show different thermal sensations. 

The THI and EsConTer indexes show very concordat with respect to the area of increased thermal vulnerability area corresponding to darker blue color. The PPD index is also shown in agreement with previous indexes as the area but in this... 

The PMV index predicts the mean value of the thermal preferences of a large group of people exposed to the same environment. But individual votes are scattered around this mean value, and it is useful to predict the number of people likely to feel uncomfortably warm or cool. The PPD (predicted percentage of dissatisfied) index establishes a quantitative prediction of the number of thermally dissatisfied people. The PPD predicts the percentage of a large group of people likely to feel too warm or cool, i.e., voting hot (-t-. , warm (4-2), cool (-2), or cold (-3) on the 7-point thermal sensation scale.

A procedure for the evaluation involves two parts one being the numerical operations of matrix elements, the other being the index operations of the sub-PPDs. It is obvious that the index operation is independent of the system that is being studied. To save CPU time in VB applications, all index operations are pre-computed and stored in the file that accompanies the source code of the package. In addition, all sub-PPDs that are required in the evaluation are computed first and are labeled. This will enable one to avoid repeated computations of sub-PPDs and minimize the computational effort in the calculation.

ABSTRACT Any human activity is influenced by the working environment in which it is developed. The opinion of employees is, nowadays, an important factor to consider because their perception may be related to their behavior. The satisfaction of all individuals housed in a thermal environment is an almost impossible task because a thermally comfortable environment for one person may be uncomfortable for another. Therefore, it would be ideal to create a thermal environment that satisfied the largest number of workers. As such, the evaluation of thermal comfort implies a certain degree of subjectivity and requires the analysis of two aspects physical (thermal environment) and subjective (state of mind of the individual). This study aims to analyze the pattern of thermal sensation of a packaging section of quick-frozen desalted codfish, discover the location of the most vulnerable workstations to thermal stress and assess the real thermal sensation of workers. The data were collected using a measurement instrument named Center 317—temperature humidity meter . For the analysis of thermal sensation the follow indexes were applied Temperature Humidity Index (THI), Thermal Comfort Scale (EsConTer) and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD). A set of standards were created for each variable and the results obtained indicate the most vulnerable workstations. Intervention strategies were considered. 

To analyze the data the thermal indexes EsConTer, THI and PPD were applied. The results are represented in Figures 3,4 and 5 respectively.
