The performance of three heating systems with respect to thermal comfort based on data collected over two heating seasons in a three-storey building was measured. The systems were compared according to the thermal comfort as well as local thermal discomfort parameters. In terms of global thermal com fort, all systems performed similarly; however, in terms of their ability to dis tribute heat to a room and their performance with respect to local thermal discomfort, all three systems performed differently.

Key Words: Heating systems • Thermal comfort
