No standalone formula is published for this standard; see programmable logic and parameters below.
Baseline: mean radiant temperature = air temperature (no additional radiant load) · wind speed = 0.3 m/s · metabolic rate = 300 W (moderate work, FORMULAS.WORKLOAD_METABOLIC_W.moderate) · clothing insulation = 0.5 clo (this page does not supply a clothing value; computeISO7933 falls back to 0.5 clo when none is given — an internal calculator default, not a value specified by the ISO 7933 text itself).
