In human thermodynamics, Povl Ole Fanger (1934-2006), often cited as P.O. Fanger, was a Danish environmental engineer noted for his theories of thermal comfort and for his thermodynamics-based energy balances of human and human systems. [1]
Education
Fanger completed his MS in civil engineering in 1957 and his DSc in 1970s, both at the Technical University of Denmark. From 1959 to 2004, Fanger was a professor at the Technical University of Denmark, focused on research concerning indoor environmental factors related to the quality and comfort of indoor existence. [2] Intermittently, Fanger worked and taught at a few other universities, in selected years, such as Syracuse University.
