Effect of thermal adaptation on seasonal outdoor thermal comfort

International Journal of Climatology, 2011
AbstractThermal perceptions and preferences of individuals outdoors cannot be entirely explained by the energy balance of the human body. They are also affected by psychological and behavioural factors or the so‐called thermal adaptation. To examine the effect of thermal adaptation on seasonal outdoor thermal comfort, 1644 interviews with concurrent ...
