History of Thermal Comfort Standards
The history of the understanding of thermal comfort and its translation into thermal comfort standards are described within this chapter. The focus of this study is largely historical, beginning with early designs of heating and air conditioning and concluding with the recent versions of ASHRAE 55 and ISO 7730. Through tracing the history of thermal comfort in this way, an understanding can be gained of our current assessment practices for thermal discomfort. The chapter concludes with contemporary research-driven criticism of current thermal comfort standards.
