Author(s) : WEBB L. H., PARSONS K. C., HODDER S. G.

Summary

The paper presents the results of a study on the thermal comfort requirements of 32 people with multiple sclerosis. Results indicate that people with multiple sclerosis have a wide range of responses to the three experimental conditions. Their preferred environment is slightly warmer than 23 °C. A subgroup of the population prefers an environment that is slightly cooler than 23 °C. Further work is needed. Information concerning predicted mean vote (PMV) in the different figures are given.
