[Bristol, 18/12/2017] – Due to climate change, overheating in commercial buildings is becoming a widespread issue in the UK. Architects, especially those from Kensington Systems Ltd are now designing buildings with the aim of achieving thermal comfort that will make buildings more energy efficient.

Factors that Affect Thermal Comfort

A combination of personal and environmental factors affect thermal comfort. Personal factors include metabolic rate, state of health, clothing and acclimatisation, while the environmental factors are air temperature, humidity, radiant temperature and air velocity.

The main cause of overheating are high external temperatures from sunlight. Designers install passive building design measures such as internal and external shading devices. Installing shading devices in and out of a building can help in achieving thermal comfort by reducing unwanted heat from the sun.
