Thermal comfort
Sustainability action process
Embedded Files
Each day we keep warm, stay cool or manage our indoor air quality through our behaviour, management of our buildings and use of specialised technologies.
Actions that manage thermal comfort and indoor air quality use varying amounts of energy. Changes in behaviour and modifications to the school environment can manage our thermal comfort and indoor air quality and reduce our environmental footprint.
Work through the steps in the sustainability action process to take actions to promote sustainable strategies for indoor air quality and thermal comfort.
Thermal comfort is a person's personal feelings of warmth and coolness. It is affected by many factors including air and radiant temperature, humidity, air movement, clothing and metabolism.

The sustainability action process provides a scaffold for teachers and students to investigate real issues and needs. It supports authentic problem solving through active student participation.
The sustainability action process has five steps:
- make the case for change
- explore options for action
- develop the proposal for action
- implement the proposal for action
- reflect and evaluate
