Abstract

The aim of this paper is to measure and describe human thermal comfort in the built environment and particularly in new public educational building. Measurement campaign was set in autumn, 2016. Measurements relative humidity and temperature shows substantial impact of outdoor temperature to indoor regime fluctuations were recognized, also unsatisfactory low relative humidity level was identified in all tested areas. According to obtained results, working environment in tested sites could be called as discomforted and provoked to productivity loss.
