Research on Prediction and Regulation of Thermal Dissatisfaction Rate Based on Personalized Differences

Applied Sciences, 2023
Thermal discomfort body language has been shown to be a psychological representation of personnel’s particular thermal comfort. Individual thermal comfort differences are ignored in public building settings with random personnel flow. To solve this issue,

Thermal comfort of heterogeneous and dynamic indoor conditions — An overview

Building and Environment, 2016
AbstractThe buildings sector, being a leading energy consumer, would need to lead in conservation efforts as well. There is a growing consensus that variability in indoor conditions can be acceptable to occupants, improve comfort perception, and lower building energy consumption.

Photovoltaic Glazing: Analysis of Thermal Behavior and Indoor Comfort

Energy Procedia, 2013
AbstractThe integration of photovoltaic systems into buildings is one of the best ways to exploit effectively solar energy and to realize the distributed generation inside urban and suburban environmental. BIPV can be installed in a wide variety of applications such as skylights, roofing, walls and windows but, glazing is perhaps the most promising ...

Thermal comfort based fuzzy logic control

, 2001
Most heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) control systems are considered as temperature control problems. In this work, the predicted mean vote (PMV) is used to control the indoor temperature of a space by setting it at a point where the PMV ...

Submicron Metasurface Reconfigured Multiband Smart Windows

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a submicron metasurface reconfigured multiband thermochromic smart window. By integrating subwavelength nanostructures into a Fabry−Perot resonator configuration, it mitigates conventional trade‐offs to simultaneously deliver high luminous transmittance and robust solar heating and radiative cooling modulation capabilities ...

Portable Breathing Monitoring With Phase‐Resolved Airflow Dynamics Enabled by a Dual‐Response Flexible PZT Sensor

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A portable respiratory monitoring device based on a flexible PZT sensor captures pressure‐ and temperature‐related airflow responses in a single waveform. Polarity‐opposed piezoelectric and pyroelectric components generate a narrow transient spike and a broad quasi‐steady peak during both inhalation and exhalation. This dual‐component structure enables

All‐Polyimide‐Mediated Liquid Metal Assembly on Aerogels for Breathable and Robust Electronic Skins

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An all‐polyimide‐mediated assembly strategy resolves the fundamental conflict between physiological breathability and electromechanical robustness in wearable electronics. By integrating a polyamic acid‐encapsulated liquid metal ink onto an ultralight polyimide aerogel, imidization‐induced contraction enables low‐temperature conductive activation and ...

Computational Analysis of Indoor Thermal Comfort in a Terraced Family House With Thermal Insulation

IEEE Access, 2023
Computer simulations are used to assess the impact of thermal insulation on the transfer of heat and moisture in the exterior walls of residential buildings. The effects of internal and external thermal insulation on a room in a terraced family house are compared using the COMSOL Multiphysics software package, evaluating the influence of the placement ...

Development of an adaptive window-opening algorithm to predict the thermal comfort, energy use and overheating in buildings

, 2008
This investigation of the window opening data from extensive field surveys in UK office buildings demonstrates: 1) how people control the indoor environment by opening windows; 2) the cooling potential of opening windows; and 3) the use of an ‘adaptive ...
