Values of Coordinated Residential Space Heating in Demand Response Provision [PDF]
Applied Energy, 330, p.120353 (2023), 2022 Demand-side response from space heating in residential buildings can potentially provide a huge amount of flexibility for the power system, particularly with deep electrification of the heat sector. In this context, this paper presents a novel distributed control strategy to coordinate space heating across numerous residential households with ...

Heart Rate Variability as a Predictive Biomarker of Thermal Comfort [PDF]
Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing volume 9,
pages 1465-1477(2018), 2020 Thermal comfort is an assessment of one's satisfaction with the surroundings; yet, most mechanisms that are used to provide thermal comfort are based on approaches that preclude physiological, psychological, and personal psychophysics that are precursors to thermal comfort. This leads to many people feeling either cold or hot in an environment that was
