Abstract

The article presents the research of thermal comfort based on the Fanger model. The research was conducted in three educational rooms. The study involved 98 people whose age is between 19 and 23 years old. The study consisted in measuring the parameters of the thermal environment. During the research, students completed surveys regarding the thermal sensation. On the basis of the research, the predicted mean vote PMV score and the predicted percentage of dissatisfied PPDs were determined. This made it possible to compare the assessment of respondents with those indicated according to the standard, which showed that the Fanger model does not reflect the results of the respondents. The best solution will be to modify the Fanger model.
