本文探讨了三个相关问题。首先，概述了过去25年来国际上舒适度研究理论基础的发展。其次，研究结果的实际应用，在英国，在过去的15年里，在设计控制建筑环境条件的系统被考虑。第三，讨论了非住宅建筑节能的理论和实践意义。结论是，由于这一时期发生的发展，关于舒适本身的本质，以及如何以及由谁来创造和维持这种建筑中可接受的环境条件，现在存在着根深蒂固但有限的观念。这些概念的存在有利于剥夺建筑居住者控制自己直接环境的自主权，并通过自动化和集中的环境控制系统将其转移给技术专家。
Three related issues are examined in this paper. First, international developments in the theoretical bases of comfort research over the past twenty-five years are outlined. Secondly, practical applications of the findings of that research, in Britain over the last fifteen years, to designing systems for controlling environmental conditions in buildings are considered. Thirdly, the implications of comfort theory and practice for attempts to conserve energy in non-domestic buildings are discussed. It is concluded that, because of developments which have occurred during this period, there now exist deeply entrenched but restricted notions about the nature of comfort itself, and about how, and by whom, acceptable environmental conditions should be created and maintained in such buildings. The existence of these notions facilitates expropriation from building occupants of their autonomy to control their own immediate environment and its transference, by means of automated and centralised environmental control systems, to technical specialists.
