The comfort and well-being of occupants of buildings have become the central values of the modern built environment. Therefore, engineering the human-centered indoor environment and understanding the key parameters influencing it are crucial skills to learn to face the current challenges of society and the building industry. This course provides an integrated approach to analyzing human thermal comfort by examining the correlation between the indoor and outdoor environment, human thermoregulation, and thermal sensation of occupants. Particularly, detailing of heat flows that an occupant is exposed to, along with thermodynamic processes happening across the building envelope and the mechanical climatization system, will be analyzed during the course.
