Summary
An optimal indoor climate will be accepted only by 95% of the users (Fanger). According to a study done by the Fraunhofer-Institut für Bauphysik this value is even lower: 85%. It might be the main reason for the often complained low acceptance of HVAC-systems. This problem can only be solved by the possibility to adjust individually the indoor climate. In this paper the physiological and physical background for thermal comfort is presented, and an individual thermal climate is proposed by a cooled/heated ceiling controlled by a heated artificial skin.
