According to [2], actual thermal comfort standards are based upon laboratory studies carried out in climatic
chambers, ignoring the complex interaction between occupants and their environments that could affect their
comfort. In reality, occupants are comfortable in a wider range of conditions. This is because people are able to
adapt to the environment that they are used to. The tropical climate in Ghana is warm and humid with mean outdoor
temperatures of about 26°C but relative humidity values are rather high (above 80%). However, Accra’s daily
average temperature is 30°C. The prevailing climate may have an adverse impact on indoor occupant comfort.
