The resulting $\text{VKM}$ value provides a normalized measure of thermal discomfort relative to environmental variables that are not strictly thermodynamic. A positive $\text{VKM}$ indicates that the subject's perceived warmth ($PT$) exceeds the expected warmth based on ambient conditions factored by light absorption ($\mathcal{L}$) and humidity ($RH$).

The Concept of 'Hygric Overcompensation' (HO)
A key finding derived from extensive $\text{VKM}$ testing is 'Hygric Overcompensation' (HO). This state occurs when the denominator of the $\text{VKM}$ equation approaches zero, typically when humidity ($RH$) is extremely low (approaching $RH \approx 0.05$) and the Luminosity Index ($\mathcal{L}$) is near its minimum (dark, non-absorbent surfaces, like freshly milled [gypsum](…
