This paper presents the result of a large thermal comfort survey conducted using 1520Thai volunteers from different
climatic regions of Thailand. The survey was conducted using different types of air-conditioned buildings from the private
and public sectors.
Apart from common thermal comfort factors such as air dry bulb temperature, relative humidity and air velocity,
two non-quantifiable factors were considered. These are the acclimatization to the use of air conditioner at home and
the education level, i.e., post graduate, graduate and scholar. A general database for thermal comfort studies in
Thailand was created, and different thermal comfort standards were developed for the three climatic regions of
Thailand. Twenty six degree Celsius and 50–60% relative humidity could be used as a comfortable environment condition
for the whole country. The data was then used to generalize an earlier concept we developed for setting thermal
comfort standard using data from non air-conditioned buildings.
