About

Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment. This concept constitutes a significant research area within building science, environmental psychology, and related engineering disciplines, investigating the complex interplay between environmental parameters (such as air temperature, radiant temperature, air velocity, and humidity) and personal variables (like metabolic rate and clothing insulation) to understand, predict, and optimize human physiological and psychological responses to thermal conditions.
