Abstract:
Thermal comfort is considered one of the basic parameters characterising a building. When thermal comfort conditions are not met, incorrect energy management occurs not only during the winter period but also in the summer. Thermal comfort in a space is mainly characterised by the PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied) indices, which result from the combination of specific basic climatic parameters (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, surface temperature), as well as other parameters (clothing and metabolic rate of occupants). However, there are numerous indicators related to thermal comfort inside and outside the building. This chapter presents the basic concepts and indices related to thermal comfort.
