Thermal comfort is a state of body and mind in which a person feels satisfaction with factors such as temperature and air movement in the indoor environment. There are a number of factors which affect thermal comfort, some of which can be measured, and some of which are more subjective. This topic guide explains the basic principles of thermal comfort as they apply to buildings in the UK.
The topic of thermal comfort is part of the wider topic of indoor environmental quality, which also includes indoor air quality (discussed in BSRIA topic guide ) and noise (discussed in BSRIA topic guide ).

In the context of closed heating and cooling systems, the term pressurisation covers:
* Maintaining system pressure within acceptable limits* Accommodation of thermal expansion and contraction* The application of safety devices
It may also include automatic top-up of system water and initial system filling.
This guide explains the principles of pressurisation, the different types of equipment used, and the calculation procedures following both British and European standards. The guide has been developed with a steering group of industry experts, following discussions on the importance of pressurisation, in the context of closed heating and cooling systems.
The maintenance of acceptable pressures whilst accommodating thermal expansion is one of the key factors in ensuring continuous and correct functioning of heating and cooling in buildings, hence delivering good thermal comfort to occupants.
Correct pressurisation prevents system failures, thus saving building owners time and cost related to system downtime and repairs.
