Although thermal comfort has been a research topic since the 1960s, some knowledge gaps
still affect understanding of the human response to changing thermal environments. To …

The purpose of this study is to explore how a short-term thermal experience influences
thermal comfort evaluation. Thermal experience, which refers to the previous thermal …

The effects of indoor thermal exposure on human thermal adaptation is a time-dependent
process, and deconstructing the human thermal response in a dynamic process helps to …

Thermal comfort dictates our alliesthesia and behavioural responses in indoor environments
with the primary aim of maintaining the thermal homeostasis of our human body. The recent …

Dynamic temperature control strategies are feasible for enhancing energy flexibility and
reducing energy consumption in buildings. However, guidelines for designing such dynamic …

Previous thermal history usually influences current thermal sensation and thermal comfort. In
reality, people can adjust their clothes, activities, and other factors to achieve a relatively …

The human thermal adaptation has been documented while the underlying mechanisms of
the adaptive processes remain incompletely understood. This study was to evaluate human …

In buildings, occupant behaviour is recognised as a major contributing factor to energy
demand and in particular to heating consumption. To achieve thermal comfort within the …

There are three main methods to improve thermal comfort in existing buildings: modeling,
experiments and measurements. Regarding experiments, no standardized procedure exists …

The study was done to identify affective and sensory responses observed as a result of
hysteresis effects in transient thermal conditions consisting of warm-neutral and neutral …
