A small percentage of building occupants report chronic thermal discomfort. What strategy should be used to address this problem?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Offering personal heating/cooling devices is the best strategy to address the problem of chronic thermal discomfort among a small percentage of building occupants. This strategy allows occupants to adjust their local thermal environment according to their individual preferences and needs, which can improve their satisfaction and comfort. Personal heating/cooling devices can include fans, heaters, foot warmers, radiant panels, or under-desk air terminals. The other options either do not address the individual differences in thermal comfort or may worsen the problem by creating uniform and inflexible thermal conditions.

Installing ceiling fans might help with airflow, but I wonder if that’s enough for chronic discomfort. I feel like I need to think this one through more.

Locking thermostat setpoints seems like it could cause more issues than it solves, but I’ve seen similar questions where it was a consideration.

I think reducing relative humidity could be important, but I can't recall if it directly addresses thermal discomfort.

I remember discussing how personal heating/cooling devices can really help with individual comfort, but I'm not sure if that's the best overall strategy.
