Abstract: The present paper focuses on the issue of thermal comfort adaptive criteria and its relevance to the implementation of passive design strategies, in the context of a field work carried out in Portugal. This field work involved monitoring and questionnaires in office buildings existing in Lisbon, as well as other types of buildings, such as homes for the elderly and educational buildings, during summer, winter and mid-season.
