“…In sport facilities, these four aspects have been studied in order to improve the comfort and the performance of the athletes. In particular, light has been recognized as one of the most important factors to ensure the correct practice of the sport [10,11], while indoor air quality has been considered fundamental for ensuring health of the athletes [12]. Then, since swimming pools and sport halls are environments in which noise level and speech intelligibility can determine the comfort or the safety of the occupants, research on the assessment of acoustic conditions and on the use of acoustic treatments to improve the quality of the environment have been carried out [13].…”

In previous years, providing comfort in indoor environments has become a major question for researchers. Thus, indoor environmental quality (IEQ)—concerning the aspects of air quality, thermal comfort, visual and acoustical quality—assumed a crucial role. Considering sport facilities, the evaluation of the thermal environment is one of the main issues that should be faced, as it may interfere with athletes’ performance and health. Thus, the necessity of a review comprehending the existing knowledge regarding the evaluation of the thermal environment and its application to sport facilities becomes increasingly relevant. This paper has the purpose to consolidate the aspects related to thermal comfort and their application to sport practice, through a deep study concerning the engineering, physiological, and psychological approaches to thermal comfort, a review of the main standards on the topic and an analysis of the methodologies and the models used by researchers to determine the thermal sensation of sport facilities’ occupants. Therefore, this review provides the basis for future research on the determination of thermal comfort in indoor sport facilities located in moderate environments.
