Résumé

This survey measures human thermal comfort and assesses the validity of the adaptive thermal comfort model when applied to the climatic extreme (hot dry) conditions of Ghadames. This paper reviews the results from two field surveys of thermal comfort within two types of buildings, old (free running) and new (climate control), in Ghadames oasis in Libya in the summer seasons of August 1997 and July 1998. Questionnaires were collected. The results show that the neutral temperatures in old and new buildings are 31.6 and 29.4 °C respectively. The adaptive model is shown to be valid, without modifications, for predicting the thermal comfort of sedentary occupants in such environments.
