Spatial distribution of thermal comfort and work performance in a naturally ventilated auditorium

The air temperature, relative humidity, perceived indoor air quality assessed by the occupants, the predicted percentage of dissatisfied, and work performance were examined in a naturally ventilated auditorium.The reliability of air quality assessments, typically conducted at a single location within the premises, has been questioned due to the spatial distribution of the measured parameters.Based on the obtained results, new calculation models for evaluating the acceptability of indoor air quality and relative work performance are proposed.
