Abstract
Managing thermal comfort in built environments is a challenging task that requires addressing occupants' diverse preferences and adapting to changing external conditions. Indoor environment quality significantly influences human thermal comfort, health, and productivity, making it essential to create inclusive and comfortable spaces. This paper conducted a comprehensive literature review of thermal comfort assessment and modeling in indoor environments, offering an in-depth exploration of current advancements and existing knowledge gaps. This paper investigates influential factors of thermal comfort, their nature, their interactions, and their impact on overall occupant satisfaction. This paper provides insights into knowledge gaps and offers insights into future directions for more effective, occupant-centric approaches to thermal comfort assessment, modeling, and management.
