✦ Synopsis

The development of the adaptive approach to thermal comfort is reviewed from 1970 to 1995. It is argued that the adaptive approach is likely to yield useful standards for thermal comfort world-wide. These standards would take into account both climate and culture, and would need less energy than current standards.
