MARCHANTE GONZALEZ, Greta  y  GONZALEZ SANTOS, Ana Isabel. Computer application on Matlab® for the resolution of thermal comfort models. Rev cuba cienc informat [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.1, pp. 1-19.  Epub 01-Mar-2020. ISSN 2227-1899.

As part of the research carried out in the field of thermal comfort, a visual application was developed on Matlab® that grouped the different existing models of thermal comfort and discomfort. For this, a visual programming environment available in this mathematical assistant was used. With this application, comparisons between them could be established and the possible dependencies between environmental and personal factors and parameters with the comfort or thermal stress index were analyzed. This allowed to demonstrate that the monovariable controls carried out in most of the buildings to guarantee comfort, giving importance only to the temperature variable, limits the influence of other variables that have an impact on customer satisfaction such as pressure, relative humidity, the speed of the air, among others, which also affects in a certain way the energy consumption in the field of the building because some of these determining variables in the same cease to be regulated.

Palabras clave : thermal confort; thermal discomfort; factors; parameters; energy consumption.
