    El muestreo del confort de los usuarios, permite observar y predecir el nivel de confort en el sistema de aire acondicionado. El desarrollo de los sistemas de muestreo online ayuda en el reconocimiento de patrones de comportamiento que se producen en las oficinas. En este trabajo se presenta una metodología especialmente diseñada y desarrollada con el fin de facilitar la extracción y representación del conocimiento, de esta manera es posible tomar decisiones sobre el confort en los edificios. La metodología utilizada proporciona información importante y útil para seleccionar el punto de ajuste del confort de las habitaciones para un sistema de climatización central, sin la necesidad de utilizar valores fijos, basados en horarios programados o cualquier otra metodología. En esta metodología, los usuarios son evaluados mediante el uso de un conjunto estándar de preguntas clave para medir el nivel de satisfacción respecto a los factores ambientales, gracias a un cuestionario de respuestas imprecisas. Buscamos una mejora en los usuarios de los edificios, independientemente de sus particularidades

    The sampling of the users comfort, allows observing and predicting the level of comfort on the HVAC system. The development of online sampling systems assists in the recognition of the behaviour patterns that occur in the offices. This paper presents a methodology specially designed and developed in order to make easier knowledge extraction and representation, in this way it possible to make decisions about the comfort in buildings. The methodology used provides important and useful information to select the comfort set-point of the rooms of a central HVAC system without the need to use fixed values based on programmed time schedules or any other methodology. In this methodology, the users are evaluated by using a standard set of key questions in order to measure the level of satisfaction respect to environmental factors, thanks to a questionnaire of imprecise answers. We seek an improvement in the building users, regardless of their particularities
