AbstractFor thermal comfort an objective definition is given, based on physiological results. The significance of skin temperature in this context is the basis for a measurement device which simulates the human skin physically. Results of measurements using the artificial skin including psychophysical investigations and draught measurements are discussed as well as the applicability of the objective comfort criteria to current HVAC problem areas. Finally the significance of the equivalent temperature for future standardization is emphasized.
