A thermometer pill the women swallowed reported internal body temperature. Skin temperature was measured on hands, the abdomen and elsewhere. The researchers tested 16 women, students in their 20s, doing seated work wearing light clothes in rooms called respiration chambers, which track oxygen inhaled and carbon dioxide exhaled. The study says most building thermostats follow a “thermal comfort model that was developed in the 1960s,” which considers factors like air temperature, air speed, vapor pressure and clothing insulation, using a version of Fanger’s thermal comfort equation.īut his study offers another solution: Change the formula. “If you have a more accurate view of the thermal demand of the people inside, then you can design the building so that you are wasting a lot less energy, and that means the carbon dioxide emission is less.” “In a lot of buildings, you see energy consumption is a lot higher because the standard is calibrated for men’s body heat production,” said Boris Kingma, a co-author of the study and a biophysicist at Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands. The study concludes that buildings should “reduce gender-discriminating bias in thermal comfort” because setting temperatures at slightly warmer levels can help combat global warming. Their study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, says that most office buildings set temperatures based on a decades-old formula that uses the metabolic rates of men. You can still use the formula =B2-A2 to get the elapsed time but it will also be displayed in days until you apply Format Code to :MM.Finally, scientists (two men, for the record) are urging an end to the Great Arctic Office Conspiracy. Calc will display these values as days instead of hours/minutes. You could also enter the A2/B2 formulas using the TIME() function, but then you must enter seconds and use function separator semicolon instead of time separator colon: =1+TIME(19 40 0) and =4+TIME(6 56 0). You can use a format or styles and set the Format Code to :MM if you don't want to see the seconds displayed in the cell. For this example, I get 59:16:00, that is, 59 hours and 16 minutes. Then the elapsed time is the simple formula =B2-A2. Times are entered within quotes in your locale's standard format, which for me in the United States, is HH:MM. In this case, Paris to Istanbul, you should enter formula =1+"19:40" in A2 and formula =4+"06:56" in B2. An example:-ī2 Arr (HH:MM)To calculate elapsed time, you will need to supply both the day number and the time for the train's departure and arrival. I think I have to enter the number of days over the first and last to calculate the difference successfully. Example depart Paris 1940 Day 1 and arrive Istanbul 06.56 on Day 4. These may take at least one day but possibly more. Aldringtronhalt wrote:I am trying to calculate elapsed time for railway trains.
