摘要: Abstract A field study is conducted in a secondary school building Cyprus, to assess the indoor thermal conditions during students’ lesson hours. The survey carried out Neapolis Gymnasium which typical Cypriot located coastal city of Limassol. Requirements for comfort are critical especially pupils’ performance and welfare. Classrooms, laboratories administrative offices chosen investigation outdoor conditions. Air temperature (AT) relative humidity (RH) monitored using sensors simultaneously throughout four seasons year. Data analysis compares results with international standards, ASHRAE Standard 55, ISO 7730, etc. Thermal variables measured at same time when students teachers completed questionnaire focuses on their perception climate. Fanger's indicators calculated (PMV, predicted mean vote PPD, percentage dissatisfied people) actual people clothing metabolic rate estimated order conclude prevailing school.
