Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the subjective thermal comfort level using the human skin temperature and humidity and the occupant questionnaire and the objective thermal comfort level using a PMV measuring device. To do this, the indoor temperature was changed to the set temperature of the system air conditioner, and the indoor temperature and humidity was measured using a general commercial temperature and humidity sensor and the thermal comfort was measured through a questionnaire. As a result, there were subjects who showed different objective and subjective comfort levels. This indicates that the temperature and humidity of each occupant is different from the indoor temperature and humidity, and it is necessary to measure the temperature and humidity of each occupant rather than the temperature and humidity of the space unit.
