Indoor thermal comfort is essential for maintaining people's well-being and quality of life. This study aimed to understand the relationship between human physiological variables and a group of people's thermal sensations in an office environment in Florianópolis/SC. Skin temperature was measured at ten points on the participants' bodies, and their heart rate was monitored with wrist and chest devices. These variables were related to thermal sensation ratings every half hour, between 9 am and 4 pm. The measured skin temperature data were organized into four body groups (head, trunk, arms, and legs) to evaluate the parts with a higher correlation to cold, neutral, and hot thermal sensations. It was observed that the group of arms showed the best correlation between body temperature and perceived sensation, with a higher frequency of higher temperatures observed in votes for feeling hot and lower temperatures for feeling cold. When analyzing heart rate, greater variability between heart beats was observed for hot and cold responses than the neutral ones. Finally, no direct correlations were obtained between the two physiological variables and the participants' perceived sensations.
