Thermal comfort is fundamental to indoor environmental design and operation as well as
indoor thermal environment evaluation. This paper has reviewed the historic evolution of …

Building occupants are continuously exposed to multiple indoor environmental stimuli,
including thermal, visual, acoustic, and air quality related factors. Moreover, personal and …

Thermal comfort studies are necessary in the early stage of building design, especially in
tropical climates where buildings are exposed to solar radiation throughout the year. In this …

The range of students' classroom-based activities is generally restricted; therefore,
individuals have limited options for adjusting themselves to the indoor thermal environment …

The thermal environment quality of office buildings has an important role because thermal
comfort is directly related to human productivity. Thermal comfort conditions are influenced …

Buildings generate nearly 30% of global carbon emissions, primarily due to the need to heat
or cool them to meet acceptable indoor temperatures. In the last 20 years, the empirically …

This study investigates the seasonal adaptation to temperature that occurs in Japanese
offices, with a view to suggesting an adaptive model for them. Temperatures were measured …

Occupant behaviour has significant impacts on the performance of machine learning
algorithms when predicting building energy consumption. Due to a variety of reasons (eg …

With the development of the urban city, increasing attention has been paid to outdoor
thermal comfort. In this paper, an analysis of the sensitivities of different factors, including the …

In this work, we show a thermal comfort field study and adaptive thermal comfort model in
educational buildings under tropical Aw climate, considering air conditioning systems (AC) …
