Thermal comfort is a psycho-physiological phenomenon that looks to environmental adaptations to provide better health conditions, and levels of safety, performance and comfort. This article examines the relationship between thermal comfort in university classrooms with students' attention and recall performance. Objective and subjective evaluation methods were applied, such as a questionnaire based on the proposed model by Batiz and Goedert, Figure of Rey Method and Fanger Method. It was observed that there is a 90.9 per cent coincidence between the PMV calculated and the subjective value measured. It shows that the questionnaire is an effective tool for evaluating thermal comfort. It was observed that 70 per cent of the students evaluated manifested a positive output in attention and memory tests. Positive results were obtained in the test by students in comfortable conditions.
