The book provides a methodology for evaluating comfort that takes into account the unique perspectives of children. The first part of the book provides an overview of the history of thermal comfort, the human body and environmental parameters, and common thermal comfort indexes. It also offers guidelines for creating questionnaires that accurately assess children's perceptions of indoor thermal comfort. The book then delves into children's understanding of the concepts of comfort and energy, as well as the factors that influence their perception of these concepts. It addresses the psychological and pedagogical aspects of thermal comfort judgment, as well as the architectural and environmental characteristics that contribute to children's perceptions of comfort. First published as Indoor Thermal Comfort Perception, this updated edition also includes new sections on architecture and sensitivity, exploring the impact of classroom spaces on learning, and outdoor education and thermal comfort outdoors, based on qualitative research. These additions provide valuable insights for future studies on these topics. While physical parameter measurements and comfort indexes are useful in thermal comfort, the book emphasizes the importance of ergonomic assessments in the form of questionnaires, which offer unique insights into children's experiences. The book fills a critical gap in understanding children's perceptions of thermal comfort and is essential reading for HVAC engineers, architects, environmental psychologists, and researchers in the medical and cognitive fields. 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aBuildings$xEnvironmental engineering 606 $aInterior architecture 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 606 $aBuilding Physics, HVAC 606 $aInterior Architecture 606 $aEnvironmental Health 606 $aCognitive Psychology 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aBuildings$xEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aInterior architecture. 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 14$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aBuilding Physics, HVAC. 615 24$aInterior Architecture. 615 24$aEnvironmental Health. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 676 $a333.79 700 $aFabbri$b Kristian$0477819 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910842291203321 996 $aThermal Comfort Perception$94146959 997 $aUNINA
