Thermal Comfort Aspect of Three Different Heating Systems

The performance of three heating systems with respect to thermal comfort based on data collected over two heating seasons in a three-storey building was measured. The systems were compared according to the thermal comfort as well as local thermal discomfort parameters. In terms of global thermal comfort, all systems performed similarly; however, in terms of their ability to distribute heat to a room and their performance with respect to local thermal discomfort, all three systems performed differently.
