The assumption in thermal comfort prescriptions is primarily based on thermal comfort studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s.
“This assumption is primarily based on thermal comfort studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s [12–17].”
From Human thermal perception and time of day: A review (2021) · cites this paper as [15]
Among the 15 reviewed experimental studies investigating diurnal variations in thermal perception, six found no significant differences in thermal perception.
“Among the 15 reviewed experimental studies investigating diurnal variations in thermal perception, six found no significant differences in thermal perception [12–17,78]”

Results from at least four other studies seem to contradict the tendency to prefer higher temperatures in the early evening.
“However, the results from at least four other studies [12–17] seem to contradict these results.”
From Human thermal perception and time of day: A review (2021) · cites this paper as [15]
Fanger and colleagues found mean preferred temperatures slightly lower in the evening, but the difference of 0.2°C was not significant.
“Mean preferred temperatures were found to be slightly lower in the evening, but the difference (0.2°C) was not significant.”
From Human thermal perception and time of day: A review (2021) · cites this paper as [15]
Past thermal comfort studies, including some reviewed here, have highlighted that variance in the thermal sensory response is greater in female versus male subjects.
“Past thermal comfort studies, including some of those reviewed here [12–17], already highlighted that variance in the thermal sensory response is greater in female versus male subjects.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
