An Introduction to Thermal Comfort: The
Human Factors of Sensation, Perceptions and Responses

Abstract: Next to sound, thermal discomfort
is the second leading indicator of poor indoor environmental
quality. In part this is due to industry using air
temperature as the exclusive proxy for comfort and 72F (22C)
as the metric for compliance. Participation in this course
will equip members with a complete understanding of how
people actually sense their thermal environments, the
subjectivity of perceptions and the negative consequences of
resulting responses. This is the course architectural,
engineering, interior design, builder and trade school
curriculums and manufacturers should teach - but don’t.
Fundamentals of ASHRAE Standard 55:
Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy

Abstract: Surveys reveal only 1.5% of
industry is capable of using of one of ASHRAE’s oldest and
most powerful standards to its fullest potential. Such
illiteracy explains in part why post occupancy surveys
repeatedly show dissatisfaction. As design professionals we
would never tolerate such low understanding from an
accountant, lawyer or physician. Participation in this
course will equip members with an understanding of the
fundamentals in ASHRAE Standard 55 and how these should be
applied in the design and operation of buildings. It is not
required but recommended that members participate in course
1 prior to this course.
What Should Drive The Sustainability Bus IEQ Or Energy?

Abstract: Efficiency programs seem to ignore
the fact that the only reason why society uses energy in
buildings is to condition people and generate domestic hot
water. One would then think that all design ought to begin
with the physiological and psychological needs of the
occupants. However in the real world most energy efficiency
programs focus exclusively on enclosures and equipment and
have superficial IEQ requirements. The hope is that the
assembled systems will deliver the desired indoor climate
with the modeled energy. The flaws in this approach are
demonstrated in the poor results from thousands of post
occupancy evaluations. Following this workshop, participants
will learn the human sciences behind thermal comfort and air
quality and how energy and exergy efficiency is the natural
outcome from engineering the indoor environment using human
factor design tools.
Using Thermal Comfort Tools to Evaluate Discomfort
Probabilities Due to Enclosure Design and Choices in HVAC
Systems

Abstract: Applying the principles learned in
course 1 and 2, and using various online and pc based tools,
participants will be taken through a case study where three
enclosure performances and two HVAC system types are
evaluated for compliance with ASHRAE Standard 55.
