Extrapolating ASHRAE's comfort model.

Author(s) : GOLDMAN R. F.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Three basic approaches are used to model thermal comfort: physical, physiological, and psychological. ASHRAE's latest research programs attempt to link its thermal comfort concepts to incorporate effects of noise, odor, and other elements in indoor environment quality, and to link comfort with changes in such human behaviour as productivity. This editorial reviews such linkages from the bias of a physiologist; these views differ from those of many others.
