Modeling of indoor thermal comfort in the intelligent building
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022 Abstract Thermal comfort is generally determined with the Fanger model, which originates from the 60’s. Its accuracy can be considered disputable and it is often challenged, however it is the basis for the international standards up to this day - namely ISO 7730 and ASHRAE-55 (US standard).
