Verification of the selected thermal comfort model in real and simulated conditions

The article below aims to analyze the feeling of thermal comfort model in real and simulated conditions. The research and survey were carried out on a group of students in the lecture hall, “Energis” intelligent building, Kielce University of Technology. The respondents assessed thermal impressions in real situation. In the climate chamber, the climatic room quality were simulated. Particular attention was paid to temperature and humidity, which were set at the same values as in the room. Two comfort states were compared, and the results are presented in individual charts. Based on the tests, it can be stated the Fanger model is not accurate in describing thermal sensations of people – especially in the case of simulated (laboratory) conditions
