A field study of thermal comfort for kindergarten children in korea: An assessment of existing models and preferences of children
TLDR
In this article, the dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, the airflow velocity, and the globe temperature were measured at 10 randomly selected kindergartens from April to June, 2013, and a survey was conducted three times a day for 119 kindergarten children to investigate their thermal comfort, clothing insulation, and metabolism.About:

A review of human thermal comfort in the built environment
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on human thermal comfort in the built environment is presented, which includes standards, indoor experiments in controlled environments, indoor field studies in educational, office, residential and other building types, productivity, human physiological models, outdoor and semi-outdoor field studies.

Assessment of indoor air quality and thermal comfort in Portuguese secondary classrooms: Methodology and results
TL;DR: In this article, a field study about indoor thermal comfort, based on investigations in Portuguese secondary schools' classrooms, was conducted by physical parameters monitoring and survey questionnaires, and the results show that the students found temperature range beyond the comfort zone acceptable, and revealed occupants' accommodation to CO2 exposure, confirming the results obtained in other studies.

Challenging the assumptions for thermal sensation scales
Marcel Schweiker,Xaver Fuchs,Susanne Becker,Masanori Shukuya,Mateja Dovjak,Maren Hawighorst,Jakub Kolarik +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between temperature and subjective thermal sensation is non-linear and depends on the type of scale used, and most people do not perceive the relationship at all.

Progress in thermal comfort studies in classrooms over last 50 years and way forward
Manoj Kumar Singh,Manoj Kumar Singh,Ryozo Ooka,Hom Bahadur Rijal,Sanjay Kumar,Anuj Kumar,Sadhan Mahapatra +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that at each educational stage in the studied schools, students were highly unsatisfied with the prevailing indoor thermal environments and preferred cooler temperature than the existing indoor thermal environment.

Extension of the PMV model to non-air-conditioned buildings in warm climates
P. Ole Fanger,Jørn Toftum +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the PMV model that includes an expectancy factor was introduced for use in non-air-conditioned buildings in warm climates, which agrees well with quality field studies of three continents.

The validity of ISO-PMV for predicting comfort votes in every-day thermal environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the use of ISO 7730 (predicted mean vote, PMV) to predict the thermal sensations of people in buildings, using the ASHRAE database of field-studies.

Forty years of Fanger's model of thermal comfort: comfort for all?
TL;DR: The predicted mean vote (PMV) model of thermal comfort, created by Fanger in the late 1960s, is used worldwide to assess thermal comfort as discussed by the authors, which can be used to assess the effects of the thermal environment on productivity and behavior, and interactions with other indoor environmental parameters, and the use of information and communication technologies.
