This research is aiming to let the students learn and practice how to measure the thermal comfort in-studio classes focusing on the temperature, the humidity, and the noise, analysing and find solutions. The methodology of the research is based on using monitor devices; noise level smart meter, smart temperature and humidity measurement meter with data analysis by using Excel computer program as well as, distrusting a survey to know the user’s opinion. The college has three types of a studio class, one facing the courtyard, with large glass window, the second at the middle of the corridor with high-level window, the third one is far away from the courtyard without any window. The results compared by The United Nation Environut Protection Agency (EPA) noise levels. The results show that the studio class CBC09 level of sound exceed 60 dB which consider as noise. Also, the class CBC01 is the most comfortable class because of 25 C° temperature, 40% humidity and 55 DB the sound level is also exceed the limit by EPA. The conclusion of the research paper will highlight some scientific solutions in walls, ceiling and floors for the studio classes to be applied in the future. Keywords: measuring thermal comfort, temperature control, humidity control, sound level control in studio classes, scientific solutions 1. Introduction The design studio halls in Architecture department are suffering from noise because the main walls are made from glass plywood partitions, this cause problem of discomfort for the students and teachers during the lecture because of sound transfer... Also, because of the glasses are in the basement this cause high humidity in winter and high temperature in summer. Although measuring the thermal comfort in design studio classes became significance in measuring the sound and noise level, temperature and humidity in the class and find out scientific solutions. its significant for the studio classes in DAU will provide more comfortable places for the students, and for the community, it will attract more students if we improve the situation in the internal environment. 1.1 Objectives of the Research 1) To measure the thermal comfort in the design studio classes in Architecture Department. 2) To let the student share in scientific research in course Environmental control. 3) To encourage the students using the monitoring system such as, sound smart meter and temperature smart thermometer 4) To encourage the students working in groups. 5) To learn the students the main steps of doing scientific research. 6) The research will be discussed in Prince Sultan Forum for students researches and this will let DAU students
