Abstract

The thermal feeling of comfort is difficult to evaluate, particularly in urban public spaces because of the complexity of their urban components and of the environmental parameters. Our research aims to avoid to this difficulty by qualifying thermal comfort in urban outspace, through the formalisation of a suitable comfort index. The objective is to quantify comfort for an environment where the individuals thermal feelings depend on the climatic conditions. This last point leads also to the appropriation of space by the users. An approach, validated for closed enclosures by Fanger, P.O. and his research team, succeeded in determining the " Predicted Mean Vote " (PMV). Our paper suggests to determine environmental conditions, which will make it possible to validate an index, equivalent to the PMV, used to evaluate the thermal comfort of urban outspaces.
