Ergonomics of the thermal environment: Adaptive methods for achieving thermal comfort ISO/TR 23672:2026

Publication date:   Mar 23, 2026

Scope

This document defines adaptive thermal comfort and its mechanisms, and describes current approaches to predict adaptive thermal comfort.
This document applies to human thermal comfort in indoor built environments and seasonal adaptive processes. It is applicable to healthy humans exposed to indoor environments where thermal comfort is desirable, but where moderate deviations from thermal comfort occur, in the design of new environments or the assessment of existing ones.
