Thermal Comfort Measurement in the Workplace

Thermal Comfort Measurement in the Workplace

"Thermal Comfort", which is important in terms of both the health of the employees and productivity in the working environment, can be defined as a person who wears normal clothes not feeling too cold or too hot in the environment. Employees' temperature preferences may differ. For this reason, it is important that working environments should not be hot enough to cause fatigue nor cold enough to distract attention. In these two cases, they are factors that reduce the productivity of employees.

The thermal conditions of the working environment must be kept constant. Thermal comfort is affected by a number of factors:

- Ambient Temperature
- Humidity
- Air Flow Rate
- Thermal Radiation
- The nature of the work done
- The physical structure of the employee
- Employee's gender
- Health status of the employee
- Dressing status of the employee
