Smart cities attempt to reach net-zero emissions goals by reducing wasted energy while improving grid stability and meeting service demand. This is possible by adopting next …
Personal thermal comfort models are used to predict individual-level thermal comfort responses to inform design and control decisions of buildings to achieve optimal …
Abstract The HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system is an important part of a building, which constitutes up to 40% of building energy usage. The main purpose of …
Personal comfort models are used to predict thermal comfort responses at the individual level rather than predicting the average thermal comfort responses for large populations …
Occupant thermal-comfort complaints are the biggest operational headache of facilities managers. Many of the complaints can be attributed to the diverse nature of individuals' …
