Abstract:

Thermal comfort is an essential question in the daily utilisation of buildings, irrelevant whether it is an office building, schoolhouse, dwelling or any other type of structure. Most people spend more than 90% of their lives in an artificial climate and therefore it is obligatory to design all the influencing parameters for thermal comfort. But is it really possible to design for thermal comfort? This answer and a proper approach to this problem will be established in this paper.
