The invention relates to a thermal management system for a motor vehicle interior, said system comprising an air-conditioning device that includes at least one outlet for thermally treated air, the air-conditioning device including in particular an HVAC unit, and the system further comprising a control unit designed to: - acquire first data representing the amount of clothing worn by a passenger in the vehicle interior (Clo) and/or second data representing the passenger's metabolic activity (MET); - acquire a parameter that is related to a state of thermal comfort and can have at least two extreme values, one of the values being associated with a calm state and the other value being associated with a dynamic state; - manage the air-conditioning device to supply treated air at a flow rate that is dependent on the aforementioned parameter, said flow rate being lower when the parameter is associated with a calm state and higher when the parameter is associated with a dynamic state while the amount of clothing and/or the metabolic activity is the same in either case.
