dc.description.abstractPurpose This paper aims to measure the thermal comfort conditions and indoor air quality parameters, through on-site measurements taken in the areas mostly occupied by the passengers and airport staff. Terminal buildings consist of areas with various functions. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning requirements vary from area to area, thus leading to challenges in the management of indoor environment quality. Therefore, the study focuses on investigating the indoor environment conditions in various areas of the terminal buildings. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the thermal comfort and indoor air quality were evaluated based on the parameters [CO(2)concentration, relative humidity, temperature, predicted mean vote (PMV) and predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPD)] collected for summer 2019 from different zones inside the International Dalaman Airport terminal building located in the southwest of Turkey. The measurements were performed in the areas mostly occupied by the airport staff and passengers (check-in area, security control areas, international departure lounge, domestic departure lounge and baggage claim hall). Findings As a result of the study, it was observed that the CO(2)concentration was 480-965 ppm, the relative humidity was 51.9-75.8% and the temperature was in the range of 23.9 degrees C-28.3 degrees C inside the airport terminal. The PMV values were determined to be in the range of -0.23 to 0.67, and the PPD values 5-15%, which are used to measure the thermal comfort conditions. Originality/value There has been limited study on the determination of the indoor air quality in airport terminals and the investigation of the thermal comfort conditions. However, in this study, indoor air quality and thermal comfort conditions were determined by on-site measurements in the five mostly occupied areas by passengers and employees in the terminal building.en_US
