A new model for a comprehensive comfort assessment methodologyin buildings based on pre and post design procedure

Abstract

The research project here presented concerns the definition of a new integrated system for the evaluation and classification of indoor human comfort. In the present context, there is the need to develop a thermal comfort rating system for the building assessment, to be presented along with the energy certification. In order to do that, it is necessary to start off with the existing literature on indoor comfort evaluation models along with the analysis of some sustainable rating systems for buildings.
