Abstract: Building occupants move between zones in a building and between outdoors and indoors several times during the day, exposing the body to multiple stepchanges in its thermal environment. This phenomenon has never been studied in building simulation tools before. The thermo-physiology, sensation and comfort tool PhySCo coupled with ESP-r was used to simulate two typical warm and cold days. Two different methods to represent the outdoor environment were used and the effect of the dynamic movement of occupants on their thermal comfort has been studied. The results showed that moving from a hot environment to a cooler one requires more time to reach thermal steady-state compared to moving from cold to neutral.
