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