Study on thermal sensation and thermal comfort in environment with moderate temperature ramps

, 2020
Existing studies show that a steady-state uniform thermal environment does not actually ensure optimal thermal comfort and temperature ramps often occur in actual indoor thermal environment. So an experimental study on skin temperature, thermal sensation

Standard effective temperature based adaptive-rational thermal comfort model

, 2020
Thermal adaptations mitigate thermal discomfort and thereby reducing building energy consumption. Adaptive-rational thermal comfort modelling modifies the rational model using the adaptive approach to enable the rational model to fully account for the ...

Rethinking HVAC temperature setpoints in commercial buildings: The potential for zero-cost energy savings and comfort improvement in different climates

Building and Environment, 2019
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are responsible for a significant share of the energy consumed in commercial buildings. While energy system retrofits have been found to reduce buildings' carbon footprint substantially, these ...

Data-driven simulation of a thermal comfort-based temperature set-point control with ASHRAE RP884

Building and Environment, 2019
In the course of thermal comfort theory, researchers have been investigating both static thermal comfort and adaptive thermal comfort. Compared to static thermal comfort metrics such as predicted mean vote (PMV), adaptive thermal comfort emphasizes the ...

Thermal comfort evaluation in campus classrooms during room temperature adjustment corresponding to demand response

Building and Environment, 2019
Most thermal comfort standards and guidelines currently in use do not consider occupants' adaptive capabilities associated with real-world situations when predicting occupant thermal comfort in mechanically conditioned buildings, although the adaptive ...

Thermal comfort modeling in transient conditions using real-time local body temperature extraction with a thermographic camera

Building and Environment, 2018
This work evaluated the use of thermographic cameras as a non-invasive method to automatically model human thermal comfort in transient conditions, using data from 30 healthy subjects tested in an office setup with ambient temperatures between 21.11 °C ...

Performance of Hong Kong's common trees species for outdoor temperature regulation, thermal comfort and energy saving

Building and Environment, 2018
Using a validated ENVI-met model, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the thermal and energy saving benefits in a selected neighbourhood with its current greenery coverage ratio (GCR) of 7.2%, compared to the recommended 30%.

The impact of increased cooling setpoint temperature during demand response events on occupant thermal comfort in commercial buildings: A review

Energy and Buildings, 2018
This paper provides a review of the literature concerning the impact of temporarily increased cooling setpoint temperature on occupant thermal comfort during demand response (DR) events in commercial, air-conditioned buildings.
