As a result, the balance between man and nature has been disrupted, with climatic changes whose effects are starting to be irreversible. Due to the relationship between the quality of the indoor built environment and its energy demand, thermal comfort issues are still relevant in the disciplinary debate. This is also because the indoor environment has a potential impact on occupants' health and productivity, affecting their physical and psychological conditions. To achieve a sustainable compromise in terms of comfort and energy requirements, several challenging questions must be answered with regard to design, technical, engineering, psychological, and physiological issues and, finally, potential interactions with other IEQ issues that require a holistic way to conceive the building envelope design. This Special Issue collected original research and review articles on innovative designs, systems, and/or control domains that can enhance thermal comfort, work productivity, and wellbeing in a built environment, along with works considering the integration of human factors in buildings? energy performance. 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 610 $asmart broiler chamber 610 $aventilation system 610 $awind velocity 610 $aage of air 610 $acomputational fluid dynamics 610 $asimulation analysis 610 $auser awareness 610 $aenergy consumption 610 $aindividual metering 610 $afeedback strategies 610 $aN-ZEB 610 $aIoT 610 $aTrombe wall 610 $athermal comfort 610 $apassive heating systems 610 $aheat accumulation 610 $athermal comfort models 610 $athermal comfort assessment 610 $aFanger?s models 610 $amoderate environments 610 $asport facilities 610 $adesert cooler 610 $aevaporative cooling 610 $aindoor air quality 610 $aliquid desiccant 610 $aeffectiveness model 610 $amoisture removal 610 $aPMV 610 $acomfort indices 610 $asoftware 610 $aapp 610 $abuilding simulation 610 $ahealth and comfort 610 $aevaluation indicators 610 $awork environments 610 $aindoor environmental quality 610 $aindoor comfort 610 $ahuman health 610 $aclothing thermal insulation 610 $athermoregulation model 610 $aTanabe model 610 $ainfrared camera 610 $aindoor air quality (IAQ) 610 $ahybrid ventilation 610 $ademand controlled ventilation (DCV) 610 $ainternet of things (IoT) 610 $asoft-sensor 610 $aconvolution neural networks 610 $adraught 610 $acooling period 610 $aopen office 610 $athermal sensation 610 $abiological structure and composition 610 $atissue temperature 610 $abioheat model 610 $aMRI analysis 610 $asensitivity analysis 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 700 $aD'Ambrosio$b Francesca Romana$4edt$05634 702 $aPalella$b Boris Igor$4edt 702 $aD'Ambrosio$b Francesca Romana$4oth 702 $aPalella$b Boris Igor$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557551303321 996 $aIndoor Thermal Comfort$93021128 997 $aUNINA
