Assessment of man's thermal comfort in practice

Energy effectiveness of passive cooling design strategies to reduce the impact of long-term heatwaves on occupants’ thermal comfort in Europe: Climate change and mitigation

“…In 1970, Fanger published a paper in which he described the primary parameters to assess occupant thermal comfort when conducting longitudinal and transverse surveys in different climate regions (Fanger, 1970;1973;Humphreys, 2005). The input of certain climatic parameters, such as air temperature, air velocity, mean radiant temperature and RH; along with personal factors that were previously described by Humphreys et al (2002), such as age, gender, respondent activity level and clothing insulation can be used to predict thermal comfort.…”
