Thermal comfort is very important, especially in an auditorium. This study focusing on the sensation of thermal comfort at Dewan Sultan Ibrahim (DSI), UTHM. A person’s perception of thermal comfort is affected by environmental and personal parameter. The objectives of this study are to determine the responses of occupants regarding thermal comfort at DSI, field measurement on environment parameter, and compare with Industry Code of Practice on Indoor Air Quality 2010 (ACT 514) by DOSH (ICOP IAQ 2010 (Act 514)), Code of Practice on Indoor Air Quality for Air-conditioned Building (SS554:2009) Singapore (COP IAQ Singapore (SS554:2009)), and America Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air- Conditioning Engineers Standard 55-2010 (ASHRAE Standard 55-2010). Measurement was done by using 4 in 1 Meter Kit device, while the subjective measurement was carried out by distributing questionnaire. Measurement of environment parameter shows the average temperature of 24°C and relative humidity, 65.17%. Metabolic Rate is 1.0 met and average clothing insulation is 0.49 clo. Based on the analysis of Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Percentage People Dissatisfied (PPD), the occupants perceived their thermal conditions as comfortable.
