Background: Fanger%26apos;s PMV equation is the result of the combined quantitative effects of the air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative air velocity, humidity, activity level and clothing insulation. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods: This paper contains a comparison of suit dresses and summer clothes in terms of thermal comfort, Fanger%26apos;s PMV equation. Studies were processed in the winter for an office, which locates in Ankara, Turkey. The office was partitioned to fifty square cells. Humidity, relative air velocity, air temperature and mean radiant temperature were measured on the centre points of these cells. Thermal comfort analyses were processed for suit dressing (I-cl = 1 clo) and summer clothing (I-cl = 0.5 clo). %26lt;br%26gt;Results: Discomfort/comfort in an environment for different clothing types can be seen in this study. The relationship between indoor thermal comfort distribution and clothing type was discussed. Graphics about thermal comfort were sketched according to cells. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: Conclusions about the thermal comfort of occupants were given by PMV graphics.
