Abstract
Research related to thermal comfort is motivated by the improvement of quality of life, ergonomics, safety, energy efficiency and also as a competitive differential in the industry. In recent years, numerous researchers have sought the development of science and technology through studies of thermal comfort models, such as Fanger's PMV-PPD indices and the use of thermal mannequins through equivalent temperatures, also by modeling the body's thermoregulatory systems and in the assessment of different thermal environments. Currently, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed as a powerful tool to provide numerical simulations of flow and heat transfer, thus allowing a better understanding of the various phenomena in comfort. The coupling between numerical simulations, experimental analyzes and thermal comfort models allows greater precision in the results related to the thermal environment. This work aims to carry out a systematic review of the available literature on the analysis of thermal comfort. Based on the Scopus database, this review presents important research on the topic, disseminating the way the world is addressing this issue and promoting research gaps and trends in future work to seek the advancement of science and technology.
