Embodiments include a method for controlling a thermal environment inside of a vehicle, the method comprising: determining, by a processor of a climate control system of the vehicle, a plurality of factors influencing the thermal environment inside of the vehicle; calculating, by the processor of the climate control system, an equivalent temperature for each of a plurality of zones inside of the vehicle based on the plurality of factors, each equivalent temperature comprising an indication of a user's perception of the thermal environment at each of the plurality of zones inside of the vehicle; and controlling, by the processor of the climate control system, a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system of the vehicle based on the calculated equivalent temperatures for each of the plurality of zones inside of the vehicle.
