This article presents the development of a thermal comfort study conducted in an office room zoned by a glass partition. The objective was to determine the ideal operating temperature of the two air conditioning units in the main area to ensure adequate air conditioning for an adjacent sub-area, which depends solely on air circulation through a passageway. The project was structured around a survey of heat sources in the environment, such as LED lighting, computers, screens, and occupants, and the modeling of thermal conduction mechanisms through the glass and convection in the circulation opening. The results indicate practical solutions for thermal adjustments of the equipment in compliance with ergonomics and comfort standards (NR-17), aiming to ensure operational efficiency and user well-being in the workspace.
