Understanding How We Measure Thermal Comfort
Chances are you are familiar with the term “room temperature.” We all have experienced work environments that are too hot, too cold or too muggy. Perhaps it is a conference room that always runs cold or a classroom that feels too stuffy. Typical occupants do not need to know why the room is uncomfortable; they just want it fixed – and fixed quickly!
