The impact of occupant's thermal sensitivity on adaptive thermal comfort model
Building and Environment, 2022 Abstract Occupants' thermal sensitivity influences comfort temperature, thermal comfort models, and building energy simulation. To date, a universal thermal sensitivity estimate (i.e. 0.5/°C), the so-called Griffiths Constant, has been widely used to estimate comfort temperatures. However, recent field evidence indicates that the constant is actually
