Adaptive thermal comfort and sustainable thermal standards for buildings

Energy and Buildings, 2002
Abstract The origin and development of the adaptive approach to thermal comfort is explained. A number of recent developments in the application of the theory are considered and the origin of the differences between adaptive thermal comfort and the ‘rational’ indices is explored.

The adaptive approach to thermal comfort: A critical overview

Energy and Buildings, 2012
The adaptive approach to thermal comfort has gained unprecedented exposure and rising status recently among the thermal comfort community at the apparent expense of the heat balance approach for the evaluation of naturally ventilated buildings. The main appeal of this adaptive approach lies in its simplicity whereby the comfort temperature is expressed

Adaptive thermal comfort in Australian school classrooms

Building Research and Information, 2015
This survey of thermal comfort in classrooms aimed to define empirically the preferred temperatures, neutral temperatures and acceptable temperature ranges for Australian school children, and to compare them with findings from adult populations. The survey was conducted in a mixture of air-conditioned, evaporative-cooled and naturally ventilated ...

Adaptive Thermal Comfort Models for Buildings

2021
Thermal comfort has been widely studied from the middle of the twentieth century to the present. From Fanger’s model based on the neutral thermal state and the development of the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD) indexes to the adaptive approach based on buildings that operate with natural ventilation, several ...

Principles of Adaptive Thermal Comfort

2018
The adaptive approach to thermal comfort recognises that people are not passive with regard to their thermal environment, but actively control it to secure comfort. Thermal comfort can thus be seen as a self-regulating system, incorporating not only the heat exchange between the person and the environment but also the physiological, behavioural and ...

Effect of thermal adaptation on seasonal outdoor thermal comfort

International Journal of Climatology, 2011
AbstractThermal perceptions and preferences of individuals outdoors cannot be entirely explained by the energy balance of the human body. They are also affected by psychological and behavioural factors or the so‐called thermal adaptation. To examine the effect of thermal adaptation on seasonal outdoor thermal comfort, 1644 interviews with concurrent ...

Adaptive thermal comfort: principles and practice

Ergonomics, 2014
The rationale behind this book is that energy is becoming more expensive and the climate more extreme, thus requiring a new approach to meet the challenge of designing comfortable buildings.

The adaptive model of thermal comfort: Patterns of correlation

Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 1995
gummary The reactions of children in a school classroom were noted at weekly intervals over a period including summer, autumn, spring and summer. To achieve thermal comfort they could adjust the number of items of clothing they wore, they could open windows to cool the room and switch lights on to warm it. These means of moderating the environment show

Adaptive thermal comfort factors in classroom acoustics

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021
Climate change is affecting the built environment with a growing need to balance adaptive comfort models by relating ambient room temperature and outdoor climatic factors, on the one hand, with adequate classroom acoustics, on the other hand. The adaptive approach allows occupants of a space to adjust their clothing, activity and posture in a space to ...
