Heart Rate Variability as an Indicator of Thermal Comfort State [PDF]
2017 56th Annual Conference of the Society of Instrument and
Control Engineers of Japan (SICE), 2020 Thermal comfort is a personal assessment of one's satisfaction with the surroundings. Yet, most thermal comfort delivery mechanisms preclude physiological and psychological precursors to thermal comfort. Accordingly, many people feel either cold or hot in an environment that is supposedly thermally comfortable to most people.

Cohort comfort models -- Using occupants' similarity to predict personal thermal preference with less data [PDF]
Building and Environment 2023; 227:109685, 2022 We introduce Cohort Comfort Models, a new framework for predicting how new occupants would perceive their thermal environment. Cohort Comfort Models leverage historical data collected from a sample population, who have some underlying preference similarity, to predict thermal preference responses of new occupants. Our framework is capable of exploiting
