The Human Factors in Thermal Comfort and Indoor Air Quality
Description:
One would think an entire industry based on providing
safe, comfortable and healthy spaces, should be able to
easily describe how humans actually develop judgments about
the indoor environment. But as strange as it sounds industry
curriculum, field training and building codes generally only
address, “the hardware” (the building) and mostly ignore,
“the software”, (the occupants). Yet at the end of the day
it will always be a dissatisfied person who complains. It
seems only logical we should train practitioners to
understand how people sense and perceive to better
understand how buildings should be designed and constructed.
Learning objectives:
Students will be able to describe the basic thermal
sensory systems of the human body.
Students will be able to describe how building systems
enable environmental conditions necessary for thermal
comfort quality.
Students will be able to describe the basic relationships
between the indoor air and the human body.
Students will be able to describe how to enable the
environmental conditions necessary for indoor air quality.
