Abstract Thermal comfort in the Rotunda which is high wide visiting space of the new national museum of Korea has been numerically investigated in this paper. To evaluate thermal comfort of the Rotunda, well-known indices, PMV and PPD were introduced. The results of present investigation show that thermal comfort is satisfied at the breathing zone of the visiting space. However a thermal stratification with 9℃ of temperature difference occurs along the height of the Rotunda which makes the thermal environment worse. For example, the PPD value reaches up to 50% in the 6th floor connection passage. Consequently, additional HVAC design factors should be considered in order to reduce the large thermal stratification.
