The conventional theories of thermal comfort were set up based on steady state laboratory experiments. This, however, is not representing the real situation in buildings, especially not when focusing on residential  buildings. Therefore, in present analysis, recent reviews and adaptations are considered to extract acceptable temperature ranges and comfort scales. They will be defined in an algorithm, easily implementable in any BES code. The focus is on comfortable  Correspondence to: William Dhaeseleer, Division of Applied Mechanics  and Energy Conversion, University of Leuven (K.U.Leuven), Celestijnenlaan 300 A, B-3001 Leuven, Belgium Phone +32/16/32.25.11 Fax. +32/16/32.2 9.85 E-mail: [email protected] 1  E-mail: [email protected] Peeters, L.F.R., Dear, R. de, Hensen, J.L.M. & D'Haeseleer, W.
