Occupant behaviour in naturally ventilated and hybrid buildings [PDF]

, 2009
Adaptive thermal comfort criteria for building occupants are now becoming established. In this paper we illustrate their use in the prediction of occupant behaviour and make a comparison with a non-adaptive temperature threshold approach.
