It has been questioned what influence the architectural variables have on the workers' thermal comfort since the building is a barrier between both the external and internal environments. This article presents the findings of an applied research that correlated the analytical thermal comfort of workers with the architectural volume of the workspace. We used the Confortímetro Sensu ® equipment and the software Analysis CST 2.1 ® for measuring thermal variables and calculating the analytical comfort of workers. The research was applied in different thermal conditions and different space volumes. The statistical results of this sample did not provide evidence to support the assertion of a correlation between architectural volume of spaces and thermal comfort of workers.
