Thermal comfort
Thermal Comfort Assessment
Heat complaints are the most common workplace environmental complaint. A thermal comfort assessment moves the conversation from anecdote to PMV-grade data and a clear remediation path.
- Air temperature, RH and air speed
- Mean radiant temperature
- PMV / PPD calculation per zone
- BS EN ISO 7730 alignment
- Adaptive comfort analysis
- FM-ready action list
What thermal comfort means
Comfort is more than a thermostat reading. PMV combines air temperature, radiant temperature, humidity, air velocity, clothing and activity into a single predicted comfort score per zone — and predicted percentage dissatisfied.
Who this helps
Facility managers, property managers, HR and wellbeing leads, health & safety teams, workplace consultants and building owners handling recurring "too hot / too cold" complaints, glazed-façade overheating, post-refurb commissioning, or BREEAM Hea 04 evidence.
What you receive
Per-zone PMV/PPD scoring, heatmap overlay, root-cause analysis (solar gain, AHU control, perimeter heating, zone-level imbalance), and prioritised remediation: blind upgrades, BMS retuning, perimeter rebalancing, or capital glazing changes.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does the survey take?
- Typically one to two weeks of monitoring across representative zones.
- Can we use this for BREEAM Hea 04?
- Yes — the report is structured to drop directly into your BREEAM evidence pack.
- Do you cover summer overheating in offices?
- Yes — TM52/TM59-style overheating risk assessment is part of our standard offer.
