Abstract

Standards define thermal comfort as a function of physical and thermo-physiological para-meters. From investigations of building related symptoms it is well known that satisfaction with the indoor environment also relates to extra-physical parameters. Little is known about how far extra-thermal factors interact with our perception and evaluation of indoor climate.
