Popis: The collective concern for global warming is changing the way we behave and we act in our daily life in order to reduce energy consumption and our CO2 footprint. However, since healthier and more comfortable environments are needed, the best solution is a well-balanced relationship between these two issues. The present article exposes a methodology for a multiobjective analysis which takes into account the consumption and energy efficiency as well as the thermal comfort, based on a field study in non-residential buildings and the application of fuzzy logic. As a result, an improvement related to energy saving and lower costs for buildings’ owners without detrimental to occupants’ thermal comfort and productivity is expected.
