Background: Thermal comfort is a mental concept that expresses the feeling of individual satisfaction from the thermal conditions of the environment. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between predicted mean vote (PMV) index and mental health comfort among boy students in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.Methods: The descriptive-analytical study was done on 167 boy students in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Mental thermal sensation of students was determined in a 7-point scale, and their PMV was calculated as well. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software.Findings: The mean PMV index was -1.37 °C. The most mental thermal sensations of students were the neutral and slightly warm scale, with a frequency of 29.9% and 26.3%, respectively. PMV index had no significant relationship with the mental thermal sensation of students.Conclusion: In this study, PMV index was not suitable for estimating people’s thermal sensation of the environment in winter. By applying appropriate changes in dormitory ventilation and heating systems, more people would be satisfied of ambient temperature conditions.
