This study looked at global comfort in a classroom in a tropical climate. Based on surveys and in situ data collection, the hierarchical multi-criteria analysis method was used to establish a model of the global comfort indicator. The weights obtained for each of the comfort components truly reflect the needs in terms of global comfort in a classroom in a tropical climate, with a high level of hygrothermal comfort, a high level of visual comfort and acoustic comfort, and a low level of olfactory comfort. The global comfort index for classrooms in a tropical climate, I_GSC, has been established and will be used as a tool for predicting global comfort in classrooms.

Abstract: (french)
La présente étude, s’est intéressée au confort global dans une salle de classe en climat tropical. A partir des enquêtes et des relevés de données in situ, la méthode d’analyse multicritère hiérarchique a permis d’établir un modèle d’indicateur de confort global. Les poids obtenus pour chacune des composantes de confort traduisent réellement les besoins en matière de confort global dans une salle de classe dans le contexte climatique tropical avec une forte importance attestée du confort hygrothermique, une importance du confort visuel et du confort acoustique et un faible effet du confort olfactif. L’indice de confort global dans les salles de classe en climat tropical, I_GSC a été établi et servira d’outil pour la prévision de confort global dans les salles de classe.
Author Keywords: Climat tropical, confort global, environnement, indicateur, salles de classe.
