Abstract
Thermal comfort is defined in ISO 7730 as “… that condition of mind which expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment”. The sensation of thermal comfort is therefore largely subjective and will vary from person to person. Due to differences in metabolism and expectations, there are distinct individual differences among people’s perception of comfort as a function of temperature, humidity, and other atmospheric characteristics.
