Drivers of diversity in human thermal perception – A review for holistic comfort models
Open accessAbstract
Understanding the drivers leading to individual differences in human thermal perception has become increasingly important, amongst other things due to challenges such as climate change and an ageing society. This review summarizes existing knowledge related to physiological, psychological, and context-related drivers of diversity in thermal perception. Furthermore, the current state of knowledge is discussed in terms of its applicability in thermal comfort models, by combining modelling approaches of the thermoneutral zone (TNZ) and adaptive thermal heat balance model (ATHB). In conclusion, the results of this review show the clear contribution of some physiological and psychological factors, such as body composition, metabolic rate, adaptation to certain thermal environments and perceived control, to differences in thermal perception. However, the role of other potential diversity-causing parameters, such as age and sex, remain uncertain. Further research is suggested, especially regarding the interaction of different diversity-driving factors with each other, both physiological and psychological, to help establishing a holistic picture.

TL;DR
This review synthesizes physiological, psychological, and contextual drivers of individual differences in human thermal perception and discusses how they might be integrated into holistic comfort models. It finds clear contributions from body composition, metabolic rate, thermal adaptation, and perceived control, while evidence for age and sex remains inconclusive.
Key findings
- The review identifies body composition, metabolic rate, adaptation to thermal environments, and perceived control as important established drivers of diversity; age- and sex-related differences are described as ambiguous/inconclusive.
- Personal control showed significant effects in 7 of 9 studies; where neutral temperature effects were reported, they ranged from 0 K to 3.4 K, with a mean effect of 2.16 K (SD = 1.28), and the review later states neutral temperature differs by about 2 K between high and low personal control.
- For body composition, overweight children perceived the thermal environment as hotter, and higher BMI was associated with lower comfort temperature (−0.4°C in Southern Brazil and −0.7°C in India); frail/less healthy individuals preferred higher temperatures (1.5°C higher in winter and 0.8°C higher in summer).
- For sex, a systematic review by Wang et al. found no significant neutral-temperature differences between men and women in 9 of 11 laboratory studies and 18 of 25 field studies, although women were often reported as more sensitive to temperature fluctuations and more often dissatisfied.
Methods
- Two-stage review: stage 1 reviewed existing review papers for physiological drivers; stage 2 used rapid evidence assessments of original papers for psychological and context-related drivers, searching Science Direct and Scopus in June and July 2018 and using Parsifal for screening.
- Table 2 reports records processed: for the review of reviews, 408 identified, 290 after de-duplication, 19 included by title/abstract, and 9 after full screening; for psychological drivers, 332 identified, 207 after de-duplication, 59 included by title/abstract, and 12 after full screening; for context-related drivers, 408 identified, 290 after de-duplication, 6 included by title/abstract, and 4 after full screening.
- The modelling discussion combines the thermoneutral zone (TNZ) model by Kingma et al. with the adaptive thermal heat balance (ATHB) framework by Schweiker and Wagner, using pdfTNZ and predicted percentage of satisfied (PPS) comparisons.
Limitations
- The paper states that the review is not fully systematic, so relevant publications might have been missed; the physiological part included only existing literature reviews, and the physiological adaptation literature was predominantly focused on (sub)tropical conditions with few cold-environment examples.
- The paper states that the modelling comparison is based solely on combining TNZ and ATHB; metabolic rate was estimated by scaling predicted resting metabolic rate (0.8 MET) to the ASHRAE MET equivalent, with unknown scaling error, and body tissue insulation lacks dedicated papers on variation across subpopulations.
- The paper states that using height and weight to estimate resting metabolic rate cannot distinguish higher weight due to muscular tissue from other causes; evident from the text, psychological evidence is limited (12 studies, 9 on personal control), proposed psychological pathways remain hypotheses, some tissue-insulation values are assumed, and transient effects/alliesthesia cannot yet be replicated by heat-balance or thermophysiological models.

As a result, the output of the PMV model aligns with the results of the adaptive comfort model [13,14].”

Physiologically feasible solutions are defined where body core temperature is within a specific range (e.g. 36.5°C to 37.5°C), and body tissue insulation is constrained to what is within thermoregulatory bounds.
“Physiologically feasible solutions are defined where body core temperature is within a specific range (e.g. 36.5°C to 37.5°C), and body tissue insulation is constrained to what is within thermoregulatory bounds (e.g. highest body tissue insulation for maximal vasoconstriction and lowest body tissue insulation for maximal vasodilation).”

Thermal perception and preferred temperature are affected by body composition.
“Therefore, it can be assumed that thermal perception and preferred temperature are affected by body composition.”

A shift of thermal sensation and comfort temperatures over the year occurs in climatic regions with distinct seasonal temperature differences.
“From the perspective of physiological adaptation presented in the above, also a shift of thermal sensation and comfort temperatures over the year may be assumed, at least for those climatic regions, which have distinct temperature differences over the different seasons.”

A decrease of metabolic rate in hot environments is not due to physiological changes but is rather attributable to behavioral adjustments.
“it can be assumed that a decrease of metabolic rate in hot environments, which has earlier been suggested to be a physiological consequence of heat adaptation [140], is not due to physiological changes but is rather attributable to behavioral adjustments [90].”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
