Abstract | |||||||||
| The German federal government provides a guide book "Sustainable Buildings". The guide book contains principles for the design, construction and operation of buildings. Furthermore it provides procedures to assess economical and ecological but also sociocultural factors. The German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs is planning to enhance the guide book. This article discusses criteria for assessing the sociocultural factor "thermal comfort". The criteria gained from a review of literature and standards are examined for their suitability as assessment criteria in the guide book. They should be applicable for residential and office buildings as well as for new and existing buildings. For the different building types feasible methods are suggested. So far standards provide several approaches to assess thermal comfort. For some of these criteria there is no simple calculation method available. Several standards exist addressing the same criterion but using different methods. There is a need to harmonize the standards. Further research is required to provide assessment methods for important factors influencing occupant's satisfaction. | |||||||||
