Abstract
A facility is provided for controlling climate settings for a space. The facility includes ascertaining by a cognitive control, thermal-comfort-related data for one or more individuals within the space, and determining climate settings for a climate system of the space using, at least in part, the thermal-comfort-related data of the individual(s) within the space. In addition, the facility includes identifying, by the cognitive control, a climate adjustment to be made for an individual of the individual(s) based, at least in part, on thermal-comfort-related data acquired for the individual, and based on identifying the climate adjustment, automatically controlling one or more climate adjusting devices of the climate system associated with a location of the individual within the space to enhance climate of the individual within the space.
