local thermal discomfort. In addition, current standards specify criteria for separate aspects of the indoor environment, e.g. thermal climate, air
quality or noise, with only little consideration of possible interactions between the different types of exposure. The studies summarized in this
article found a clear impact of activity and overall thermal sensation on human sensitivity to air movement, whereas no interaction effects of
exposure to several local thermal discomfort factors were observed. Limited evidence was found of significant interactions between different
aspects of the indoor environment. Only for the effect of air temperature and air humidity on sensory air quality were well-established
relationships available.
