Figure 8.4: Comparison <strong>of</strong> the com<strong>for</strong>t temperatures <strong>for</strong> different clothing adaptions.<br />
As <strong>an</strong> option <strong>for</strong> the controller, the parameters (upper <strong>an</strong>d lower clothes insulation) c<strong>an</strong><br />
be adapted to the desired behaviour.<br />
The metabolism value is used to let the user influence the temperature. This is<br />
a good choice since its magnitude is highly dependent on the person. Even if single<br />
values are given in EN ISO 7730 [7], these are only me<strong>an</strong> values. In <strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>notation it<br />
is already mentioned there that elderly people have lower metabolisms. Moreover, a<br />
wom<strong>an</strong>’s energy consumption is calculated differently from a m<strong>an</strong>’s. Other parameters<br />
in the Harris-Benedict-Formula, used to estimate the metabolism, are age, weight <strong>an</strong>d<br />
body size [37]. By simulations metabolisms from ���� ��� to ���� ��� have been found<br />
as a suitable r<strong>an</strong>ge. Ch<strong>an</strong>ging this value represents <strong>an</strong> indirect me<strong>an</strong>s <strong>of</strong> controlling the<br />
cabin temperature <strong>an</strong>d c<strong>an</strong> be used to m<strong>an</strong>ually compensate possible errors made in other<br />
parameters. A lower value will automatically lead to a higher com<strong>for</strong>t temperature. An<br />
adv<strong>an</strong>tage <strong>of</strong> this kind <strong>of</strong> user control is that the com<strong>for</strong>t temperature is automatically<br />
adapted to the ambient temperature <strong>an</strong>d the air flow. A scaling with 100 being ���� ���<br />

higher value leading to a higher temperature.<br />
Me<strong>an</strong> radi<strong>an</strong>t temperature<br />
The me<strong>an</strong> radi<strong>an</strong>t temperature � � also has to be estimated. It is approximated by the<br />
me<strong>an</strong> surface temperature <strong>of</strong> the surrounding environment. In a car a major part <strong>of</strong> it is
