thermischeComfort
ThermischeComfort (thermal comfort) is the state of satisfaction with the thermal environment in indoor and outdoor settings. It describes how people perceive temperature, humidity, air movement, and radiant heat, and whether the environment feels neutral, warm, or cool. The concept combines subjective sensation with physiological responses and is relevant to comfort, health, and productivity.
Core factors include environmental conditions such as air temperature (Ta), mean radiant temperature (MRT), air velocity
Thermal comfort is commonly assessed with models like Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied
Applications include building design, retrofit projects, and urban planning. Designers use control strategies, zoning, ventilation, shading,
The concept continues to evolve with advances in sensor technology, wearable monitoring, and dynamic comfort models
