Abstract (EN): The aim of this chapter is to show the main standards applicable to evaluate indoor environments at international level. These standards show us the mean values and limiting conditions, as well as models for indoor environments. Following a methodic enumeration of standards, they are classified into general thermal comfort, local thermal comfort and indoor air quality standards. The main indices were obtained in laboratory studies, and how to employ them in real case studies is shown.
