Note:
Thermal comfort conditions in the built environment are strictly related to the thermal and geometric building features and to air-conditioning systems, but also to the building using profile and to the biological-metabolic-psychological characteristics of the users.
New models of subjective comfort, adaptive with respect to the environmental scenery, in a particular holistic vision of the problem, strongly addressed towards the personalization of the service, consequently result extremely appropriate, also in the aim of allowing appreciable energy saving.
technology is turning towards a frame in which user satisfaction is the center of any research, in a vision of user-centered applications: in particular information technology, together with the new possibilities offered by technological developments in telecommunication and automation fields, is assuming a relevant role in obtainment of higher quality levels in building design and management.
Within this frame, through the paper the characterization of a model, enriching that proposed by Fanger with an adaptive approach, is carried out using Intelligent Agents, particular software systems able to follow user in his own needs and, preferences and to adapt to the changes of context variables.
