title: [The quality of non-industrial confined environments: thermal discomfort].
abstract: This paper examines the problem of assessing thermal conditions in moderate working environments. Following a brief reminder of the fundamental principles of thermal comfort (in terms of balance equation, measurement techniques and indices of global and local thermal discomfort), the question of subjective assessment is discussed. Finally, a method of evaluation of thermal comfort is proposed.
