Measurement Of Thermal Comfort At Classroom: A Case Study In UTeM

Thermal comfort is a condition of mind which expresses satisfaction with the surrounding thermal environment. A person’s perception of thermal comfort is affected by air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air velocity, relative humidity, metabolic rate for work activities and clothing insulation...

Measurement of actual thermal comfort in classroom is performed via direct technical measurement associated with a thermal comfort monitor to determine the PMV and PPD.
