Abstract

In this chapter we report the case study of the Middle School Plautus Cesena (Italy). The research concerns the evaluation of Thermal Comfort through questionnaires administered to approximately 230 children between 10 and 13 years of age. The questionnaires were developed by researchers and then given to children in two campaigns; the first campaign of surveys was not accompanied by monitoring and reported some errors that we consider useful to report in this book. Monitoring was done for one representative classroom. In the same classroom was made the monitoring and measurement of the levels of lighting and Perceived Lighting Comfort.
