New international standards for thermal comfort and measurement procedures are available. This paper focuses on measurements for moderate environments in homes, offices, and industry, excluding extreme conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Building Science
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • International standards (ISO DIS 7730, ISO DIS 7726) and ASHRAE standards address thermal comfort and environmental measurements.
  • Verification of these standards requires performing various thermal parameter measurements.
  • Guidelines for measurement procedures are provided within the standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline measurement requirements for thermal comfort in moderate environments.
  • To focus on parameters influencing thermal perception in residential, office, and light industrial settings.
  • To exclude methods for evaluating extreme hot or cold thermal surroundings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of specifications for thermal comfort conditions (ISO DIS 7730).
