Description
This lecture covers the fundamentals of thermal comfort, including the human body's heat balance, factors influencing thermal comfort, and physiological and behavioral control mechanisms. It explores the impact of air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, and mean radiant temperature on human comfort. The lecture also delves into the criteria for local thermal discomfort, such as radiant asymmetry, vertical air temperature differences, and floor surface temperatures. Additionally, it discusses the physiological basis for air movement effects and the calculation of operative temperature. The session concludes with a quiz on thermal comfort assessment and standards.
