Method evidence record

Thermal Comfort Assessment

Thermal Comfort Assessment is a method for evaluating indoor environmental conditions to predict whether occupants will feel thermally comfortable. Pioneered by Povl Ole Fanger in the 1970s, it combines measurements of air temperature, humidity, air speed, and thermal properties of clothing and activity to determine comfort zones and identify remedial actions.
