THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

The invention relates to a thermal management system for a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, the system comprising a processing unit designed to determine an operative temperature setpoint TOC(t), also referred to as the operative comfort temperature, at a given time, and to use this operative temperature setpoint to manage the thermal comfort in the passenger compartment, said operative temperature setpoint TOC(t) at the given time (t) being a function of a reference operative temperature value (TOCRef), a variation DeltaCORP(t) of a physical build value CORP(t) of a person at the time (t) relative to a reference physical build value, a variation DeltaCLO(t) of a clothing value CLO(t) at the time (t) relative to a reference clothing value and a variation DeltaMET(t) of a value of the metabolic activity MET(t) at the time (t) relative to a value of the reference metabolic activity.
