thermal comfort

Bioclimatic design is currently one of the most important steps in passive building design adapted to outdoor climatic conditions.  However, the Moroccan Thermal Building Regulations (RTCM) primarily focus on the building envelope and its energy performance, often overlooking occupant comfort.  To address this gap, a bioclimatic analysis of the Mediterranean climate in Tangier was conducted to determine the percentage of thermal comfort naturally provided by this climate and to identify suitable passive strategies for buildings in the region.  The results indicate that

Regardless  of  the  vehicle's  application,  the  thermal  comfort  of  the  vehicle's occupants and driver is given increased attention. Maintaining a sense of thermal comfort, whether for  safety,  health  or  occupant  thermal  well-being  reasons,  is  one  of  the  most  important  goals  of heating,  ventilation  and  air  conditioning  (HVAC)  systems.  There  are  a  significant  number  of physical  variables  that  affect  thermal  comfort.
