This study investigates the combined effect of humidity control and simulated natural airflow on human thermal comfort in indoor environments. A custom-built device was developed to simulate wind while controlling spray volume under varying ambient temperatures (27°C–30°C) relative levels (40–60%). 12 participants were subjected 24 experimental conditions, their preferences evaluated using structured questionnaires. The results indicated that when temperature exceeded 28°C reached 60%, increasing had a more significant impact than adjusting volume. Conversely, at below 28°C, significantly enhanced comfort. These findings provide insights into optimizing climate systems, offering practical applications for reducing energy consumption maintaining occupant Practical Application By exploring effects temperature, humidity, comfort, new can be provided systems. from this have implications designing energy-efficient cooling systems prioritize especially regions with warm humid climates.
