Experimental assessment of thermal sensation and thermal comfort of sedentary subjects: a scoping review protocol

Thermal comfort affects satisfaction in the workplace, which impacts work efficiency and productivity. Since office workers spend most of their working hours performing sedentary tasks, a scoping review is proposed to contextualize how thermal sensation and thermal comfort are experimentally assesse...
