Study on Winter Comfort Temperature in Mixed Mode and HVAC Office Buildings in Japan

Energies, 2022
Comfort temperature is important to investigate because the chosen office indoor temperatures affect the energy used in a building, and a thermally comfortable environment makes the occupants be more productive.

Investigation of Comfort Temperature and Occupant Behavior in Japanese Houses during the Hot and Humid Season

Buildings, 2014
In order to clarify the comfort temperature and to investigate the behavioral adaptation in Japanese houses, we have conducted a thermal comfort survey and occupant behavior survey in 30 living rooms during the hot and humid season in the Kanto region of

Assessment of indoor thermal comfort temperature and related behavioural adaptations: a systematic review. [PDF]

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int, 2023
Thermal comfort is linked to our health, well-being, and productivity. The thermal environment is one of the main factors that influence thermal comfort and, consequently, the productivity of occupants inside buildings.

Impact of flow and temperature on patient comfort during respiratory support by high-flow nasal cannula

Critical Care, 2018
Background The high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) delivers up to 60 l/min of humidified air/oxygen blend at a temperature close to that of the human body. In this study, we tested whether higher temperature and flow decrease patient comfort.

Toward improving thermal behavior of passive solar structures by natural ventilation and extraction

Journal of Thermal Engineering, 2023
Improving the energy performance of passive energy buildings is based on reducing their consumption. These reach very high levels in overheating periods because of the mechanical ventilation systems. This work proposes to implement ventilation strategies

Cognitive performance was reduced by higher air temperature even when thermal comfort was maintained over the 24-28°C range.

Indoor Air: International Journal of Indoor Environment and Health, 2021
This study managed to create thermal comfort conditions at three temperatures (24°C-T24, 26°C-T26, and 28°C-T28) by adjusting clothing and air velocity. Thirty-six subjects (18 males and 18 females) were exposed to each of the three conditions for 4.5 h ...

Remotely Sensed Derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) as a Proxy for Air Temperature and Thermal Comfort at a Small Geographical Scale

Land, 2021
Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) and Urban Cool Islands (UCIs) can be measured by means of in situ measurements and interpolation methods, which often require densely distributed networks of sensors and can be time-consuming, expensive and in many cases ...
