Rfv-sense: "The range of temperature, humidity and ventilation that a building's occupants feel to be comfortable." I am not familiar with this sense, can it be verified? ---> Tooironic (talk) 05:31, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

RHU and WordNet have only that sense. MWOnline has it. I've always thought of that definition as the earlier definition, which seems SoP to me. DCDuring TALK 11:09, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
I have broadened the definition to include animals as well as people, and added several citations. Kiwima (talk) 19:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
I've fiddled with it some more, broadening to include other organisms (eg, plants, bacteria), and broadening to other environmental factors, but limiting to physiological comfort (or lack of stress?). I hope I haven't confused users by overspecifying the definition. DCDuring TALK 01:06, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
I think I've improved the wording a little bit, but feel free to revert if you disagree. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 23:11, 4 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
