This article presents an analysis of indoor air quality, overall comfort, and air humidity preferences in educational buildings, considering the subjective perceptions of occupants in the rooms. The results of measurements of microclimate parameters (air temperature, relative humidity) were compared with the occupants' subjective perceptions. The analyses of indoor environmental parameters focused on assessing differences in subjective assessment with regard to gender. The results show that, typically, more men than women considered their state (overall comfort) to be positive, and men were more likely to report slightly higher overall comfort than women at the same air temperature values. Generally speaking, women seemed to consider air quality poorer, while the relationship between overall comfort and indoor air quality was the same for women and men. Additionally, women seemed to rate the air humidity as drier.
