A review on predicted mean vote and adaptive thermal comfort models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a literature review of the Fanger's predicted mean vote and adaptive thermal comfort models developed in different buildings and climates and conclude that an internationally recognized adaptive model is needed to achieve better thermal conditions in a variety of buildings such as hospitals, offices, factories, lecture halls, museums, hotels and libraries in the tropics.
