The commitment to energy efficiency in buildings has become more relevant as a measure
to mitigate the increase in temperature established by the Paris Climate Conference. This …

Accurate prediction of thermal comfort is the core of thermal comfort and energy efficiency of
buildings. The rational approach (eg PMV-Predicted Mean Vote) is used prevailingly for …

The use of setpoint temperatures based on adaptive comfort algorithms is a method more
and more used as an energy saving technique. Knowing the relationship between …

Due to energy constraints and people's increasing requirements for indoor thermal comfort,
improving energy efficiency while ensuring thermal comfort has become the focus of …

Abstract Mixed-mode (MM) buildings, integrating a naturally ventilated (NV) mode and an air-
conditioned (AC) mode, have gained popularity in recent years. However, there is no …

International thermal comfort standards are applicable for the design and operation of either
mechanically cooled or naturally cooled buildings and limited guidance is given for mixed …

The window with a roller blind inside can have huge impacts on solar heat gains and the air
exchange between indoor and outdoor environments, but its potential value in terms of …

Sažetak This work presents an internet of things (IoT) based building management system
(BMS) for monitoring, control, and energy management in buildings to provide an efficient …

The common approach to model occupants behaviors in buildings is deterministic and
consists of assumptions based on predefined fixed schedules or rules. In contrast with the …

This study aimed to develop a new concept for an air terminal device for a VAV (variable air
volume) ventilation system that would improve overall ventilation efficiency under a varying …
