This paper presents an extensive field survey conducted in residential naturally ventilated buildings in Indonesia. The data gathered has been analyzed and revealed that the Predicted Mean Vote equation predicted a warmer thermal perception compared to what people really felt. Under hot and humid tropical climate, people in free-running buildings had a preference for cooler environment and for higher wind speed.
