Dynamic thermal comfort refers to the environmental condition with non-constant
parameters, which has attracted more concerns compared with steady-state thermal comfort …

Ventilation systems are mainly responsible for maintaining the quality of indoor air. Together
with thermal comfort maintenance systems, they create appropriate conditions for living …

The conventional approach to creating a uniform and stable thermal environment cannot
guarantee the required thermal satisfaction rate and consumes significant energy. Personal …

Although local air movement acts as a critical factor to enhance human thermal comfort and
energy efficiency, the various factors influencing such movement have led to inconsistent …

Currently, the indoor thermal environment in many buildings is controlled by conventional
control techniques that maintain the indoor temperature within a prescribed deadband. The …

The transitioning from overall steady-state thermal conditions indoors to non-steady and non-
uniform conditions encompasses the airflow field generated by means of air conditioning …

In this study, we developed an optimised radiant-convective combined personal electric
heater, considering the limitations of traditional personal heaters that heat the human body …

Personal comfort systems usually use a single heat transfer mode to improve local thermal
comfort by only stimulating one local body part. A novel hybrid convection and radiation …

Personalized ventilation (PV) is a mean of delivering conditioned outdoor air into the
breathing zone of the occupants. This study aims to qualitatively investigate the …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is cold year-round, with low pressure and hypoxia. A
suitable building oxygen environment and thermal environment is essential for the comfort …
