Experimental Study on Thermal Comfort of Indoor Environment
2016In order to study the range of comfort environment parameters, subjective assessment and objective assessment are used in this research. The main purpose of this study is to determine the temperature and humidity range, acceptable temperature fluctuation, acceptable air flow rate and acceptable vertical air temperature difference under the thermal ...

Indoor thermal comfort and Carbon Dioxide concentration
2017 Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (MERCon), 2017Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) is considered as a useful and easily measurable indicator for the ventilation and air quality of the indoor environment. Although this pollutant itself is not causing serious health issues with lower concentration and short durations, the higher concentration can indicate the lower ventilation level and possible air contamination

Building and Environment, 2014
Abstract Several short term studies have found evidence that plants may improve occupant thermal comfort, yet this phenomena has not yet been rigorously evaluated. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a quasi-experiment that evaluated the effect of indoor plants on the thermal comfort of 67 office workers within an office building in De
