heal.abstract	This paper explores the winter thermal comfort conditions in traditional buildings of the 19th century in the town of Florina, in North-western Greece. This investigation is based on the analysis of in-situ temperature measurements and on computer modelling. The in-situ temperature measurements were conducted throughout the winter using dataloggers. The dataloggers were placed in the living spaces of the ground floor and the upper storey of representative traditional buildings, which were, in some cases, heated with rudimentary active heating methods, such as fireplaces and stoves, and in other cases unheated. The computer analysis includes thermal analysis of the monitored houses with the Ecotect software. Finally, the results of the thermal analysis are compared with the recorded air temperature measurements. This comparison aims at defining the extent to which computer modelling can be used to analyse the thermal behaviour of traditional buildings of Florina.	en
