Exploring energy poverty and thermal comfort in upper secondary students: case study of Lisbon, Portugal

The study to be presented aims to assess upper secondary school students’ perceptions of energy poverty and thermal comfort in educational buildings. The primary objective is to determine whether this age group is subject to dual exposure to inadequate thermal comfort, potentially impacting their health and academic performance. It aims to compare conditions across multiple schools and identify factors that contribute to this issue to develop a set of measures to address the inadequate thermal comfort in educational buildings and minimize inequalities observed between different schools.
