Thermal Comfort - Adaptive Method

Dear All:- As of now we are using berkeley.edu/comfort tool for thermal comfort compliance for both A/c & Non A/c area But we use PMV method for A/c area and adaptive method for Non A/c area (Ventilation area) because we don't have RH & air speed details for ventilation area 1.Is it correct to use Adaptive method for ventilation areas 2.Can we enter space temperature as operative temperature in above tool 3.If the Adaptive method is not applicable means which area can be used in adaptive methods Kindly advise how to use this tool for both A/c and Non A/c area What are the suitable spaces for PMV & Adaptive methods respectively

Generally passively conditioned areas can only comply by the adaptive method as too many hours will fall out of range using conventional approaches. Operative Temperature is not the same as Space Temperature, but it may be close enough, unless you are doing something unusual.
