This function calculates the pmv value for a given input data

Usage

calc_pmv(data, clo, met)

Arguments

data	The input table must contain all relevant Biomet-Data for calculation as all radiation fluxes from all directions, relativ humidity (RH), air temperature (Ta), and wind speed.
clo	clo-factor for insulation of clothes. See in VDI-Richtlinen for further informations. Optional argument. Default is set to 0.6 for light summer clothes
met	met-factor for metabolic rate depending to humans activity. See in VDI-Richtlinen for further informations. Optional argument. Default is set so 2 for a slowly walking person.
