This paper introduces a novel two-stage approach to personalized thermal comfort, utilizing a combination of physiological and environmental sensing with reinforcement learning. The system aims to move beyond traditional HVAC systems that rely on static setpoints and population-level comfort models. By integrating multimodal sensing and reinforcement learning, the proposed method seeks to create more responsive building-control strategies that account for individual physiological variations. AI
