ABSTRACT
Nowadays, many buildings are equipped with sensors that acquire large amounts of data, which
can be useful to monitor, to understand and to identify thermal comfort conditions in buildings. The
studies on thermal comfort of building interior spaces are not only numerical analysis based on program
outcomes, but also experimental studies to confirm the results of the analysis. However, the most
important factor in achieving the correct result in experimental analysis is to plan the data, to select
the technology and to determine the test procedure. This study aims at providing an important source
for experimental researchers working on thermal comfort by identifying data acquisition technologies
that are utilized for capturing thermal comfort related data. Within this context, the study presents
existing instruments utilized for monitoring thermal comfort conditions and provides a guideline with
respect to technical properties, deployment strategies and time intervals. The findings of this study
will be beneficial to practitioners and researchers for selecting and utilizing the most appropriate data
acquisition technology for assessing thermal comfort in indoor environments.
