The objective of this paper is to review the topics related to the optimized operation of
intelligent buildings with respect to occupant comfort and energy consumption. To …

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 …

Evaluating and optimising human comfort within the built environment is challenging due to
the large number of physiological, psychological and environmental variables that affect …

Standardized methods for thermal comfort assessment already exist, namely the predicted
mean vote (PMV) and the adaptive comfort model, both valid for groups of people. To …

Abstract Cohort Comfort Models (CCM) are introduced as a technique for creating a
personalized thermal prediction for a new building occupant without the need to collect large …

In recent years, many scholars have dedicated their research to the development of low-cost
sensors for monitoring of various parameters. Despite their high number of applications, the …

Labelled human comfort data can be a valuable resource in optimising the built
environment, and improving the wellbeing of individual occupants. The acquisition of …

Occupants' comfort perception about the indoor environment is closely linked to their health,
wellbeing and productivity. Improvement of comfort level in office buildings has significant …

Thermal comfort assessment for the built environment has become more available to
analysts and researchers due to the proliferation of sensors and subjective feedback …

Existing HVAC systems involve little feedback from indoor occupants, resulting in
unnecessary cooling/heating waste and high percentage of discomfort. In addition, large …
