 | | Introduced by Houghton and Yaglou, this measure of heat sensation is defined as the temperature of saturated motionless air that would produce the same sensation of heat or cold as the combination of temperature, humidity, and air motion under consideration. |
 | | For optimal comfort in air-conditioned buildings, the recommended range of effective temperatures is 22.2-23.3 °C (72-74 °F), corresponding to drybulb temperatures of 25.6-26.7 °C (78-80 °F), at 50% relative humidity. |
 | | The inside effective temperature can be reduced using only evaporation in such climates, merely by ensuring a continuous air speed of 0.3 m/s (60 ft/min) over a continuously wet surface. |
