Additionally, some aspects of thermal comfort may be exploited so as to enable a building to operate within a wider range of temperature limits, saving energy while still satisfying the majority of building occupants. It is also noted that thermal comfort varies significantly between individuals and it is generally not possible to provide a thermal environment in which all occupants will be comfortable.enThermal comfortAsymmetric heatingCooling conditionsBuildings temperatureEnergy savingGreen building handbook South AfricaThermal environmentThermal comfortBook ChapterOsburn, L.
