Fanger’s predicted mean vote (PMV) model which is as a result of climate-chamber-based experiments is a good tool to evaluate indoor thermal comfort for air-conditioned buildings in global wide. However, PMV model has defect of predicting people’s real thermal sensation under non-air-conditioned conditions. It is reflected by the significant discrepancies between PMV values and Actual Mean Vote (AMV) values. The aim of this study is to develop an Adaptive Predicted Mean Vote (aPMV) Model on the basis of ‘black box’ theory considering occupants’ adaptations to improve prediction performance. A field study was carried out in naturally ventilated educational buildings in Zunyi, China. The developed aPMV model produces more reliable results and shows better prediction performance, comparing with values predicted by PMV model. It indicates that aPMV model is of great benefit to connect traditional PMV model and adaptive comfort model and consequently to provide guidance on building design, operation and maintenance, which contribute to achieve building energy conservation and emission reduction target.
