Standards of Human Comfort - University of Texas at Austin ...

CsdCenter for Sustainable DevelopmentStandards ofHuman ComfortRelative and AbsoluteMichael Boduch and Warren Fincher1 UTSoA - Meadows Seminar Fall 2009 Standards ofHuman Comfort :Relative and AbsoluteMichael BoduchWarren FincherFor something so desirable, Comfort can unfortunately be a nebulous concept. The room that makes one person put on a sweater can make another wish they were in shorts, and some people focus better in contemplative silence while others need ear-splitting music simply to get motivated. In these differences, however, is the kernel to understanding the nature of Comfort : that it is phenomenological. Our interface to the world is through our senses: touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. Each one of these senses can lead to a greater or lesser degree of Comfort , and they can act independently or in concert.

Thermal Comfort: Designing for People

soa.utexas.edu

Thermal comfort defined Thermal comfort is a condition of mind that ex-presses satisfaction with the thermal environ-ment. Due to its subjectivity, thermal comfort is different for every individual. It is maintained when the heat generated by the human metabolism is allowed to dissipate at a rate that maintains thermal equilibrium in the body.
