A new adaptive thermal comfort model for the Romanian climate
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Engineering Sustainability, 2016 Adaptive thermal comfort refers to the ability that the occupants of a building have to accustom themselves to specific thermal conditions. The notion of human thermal comfort (HTC) is therefore introduced and defined by a simple mathematical equation.

The influence of relative humidity on adaptive thermal comfort [PDF]
Building and Environment, 2017 Abstract Buildings generate nearly 30% of global carbon emissions, primarily due to the need to heat or cool them to meet acceptable indoor temperatures. In the last 20 years, the empirically derived adaptive model of thermal comfort has emerged as a powerful alternative to fixed set-point driven design.
