The use of a thermophysiological model in the built environment to predict thermal sensation

► Thermal comfort is an important building performance indicator. ► ThermoSEM is able to predict physiological responses for different subpopulations. ► Local skin temperatures and sensation can influence whole-body thermal sensation. ► The ISO 14505 method seems to be very promising to predict the thermal sensation. ► More research is needed on the use of the equivalent temperatures and terminology.
