Abstract: The purpose of HVAC appliances is to provide a comfortable environment and set the conditions for efficient work. The enhancement of buildings' energy performance puts emphasis on meeting the comfort requirements indoors, as the acceptable environments have to be provided from less energy. The comfort of the occupant is determined by the heat exchange between his body and his indoor environment. There are four local discomfort parameters that may cause discomfort on certain body parts even if whole body thermal comfort conditions are met. To help the modelling of thermal comfort conditions in buildings, on one hand we investigated, through human subject experiments, the combined effect of two discomfort parameters that are simultaneously present in the indoor space. Another modelling method is introduced in the second part of the paper where we show the results of CFD modelling of possible discomfort caused by natural ventilation required for air supply of gas appl!
