This paper reviews the most used thermal comfort models and indicators with their variants,
discussing their usage in control problems referring to energy management in indoor …

Outdoor human comfort is an essential parameter to assess the quality of the urban
microclimate, and to provide guidelines for sustainable urban development. This paper …

To investigate the combined effects of thermal, acoustic and visual comfort in open spaces,
this study selected five typical spaces on a university campus with five common sounds …

Researchers have shown that the physiological-based personal comfort models (PCM) are
capable of addressing individual differences as well as transient thermal comfort. Given that …

Of the six fundamental parameters in the classic heat balance model of human thermal
comfort, metabolic rate is probably the most important and yet it is the most crudely assessed …

The effects on human performance of elevated temperature causing thermal discomfort were
investigated. Recruited subjects performed neurobehavioural tests examining different …

The perception, physiology, behavior, and performance of building occupants are influenced
by multi-domain exposures: the simultaneous presence of multiple environmental stimuli, ie …

This study aims to propose Real-COMFORT-a novel occupant-centered real-time indoor
temperature control system using deep learning algorithms to simultaneously optimize the …

International standards that define thermal comfort in uniform environments are based on
the steady-state heat balance equation that posits 'neutrality'as the optimal occupant comfort …

Buildings could actively participate in the emerging smart electrical grid if they were able to
incorporate dynamic modulations of indoor temperature set-points. But the mechanisms of …
