Fuzzy adaptive networks in thermal comfort
Applied Mathematics Letters, 2006 AbstractThermal comfort is very important in any work or operation environment. But “thermal comfort” is a very vague and not easily defined term, and it is influenced by both the physical environment and the individual’s physiology or psychology. To at least partially overcome these problems, this work proposes the use of a fuzzy adaptive network (FAN)

Understanding adaptive thermal comfort
Proceedings of the 2013 ACM international joint conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing, 2013 In many parts of the world, mechanical heating and cooling is used to regulate indoor climates, with the aim of maintaining a uniform temperature. Achieving this is energy-intensive, since large indoor spaces must be constantly heated or cooled, and the difference to the outdoor temperature is large.
