Abstract
Some knowledge regarding the physiology of the climatic comfort will be introduced in the following sections; at this stage it is useful to understand themission of the climate control system [19][20].
Firstly thermal comfort conditions will be identified as well as system parameters capable of describing them; secondly the human body metabolic activity as function of ambient conditions will be introduced and its consequence on heat exchange will be described.
At this point it will be possible to draw a thermal balance to design the climate control system preliminary.
