Determination of thermal sensation on transient conditions [PDF]

, 2015
The objective of this study is to investigate the difference in thermal environment and human response between air-conditioned closed space and a semi-open space. The thermal response of the subjects in transitional space as they experienced step changes

Influence of Adaptive Comfort Models in Execution Cost Improvements for Housing Thermal Environment in Concepción, Chile [PDF]

, 2018
Most of the operational energy needed by the housing sector is used to compensate energy losses or thermal gains through the building’s envelope. As a result, any improvement in the thermal behavior will provide important opportunities to reduce energy ...

Projector‐Induced Waveguide Encoded Lattices (ProWELs) with Optical Functionality: From Enhanced Fields of View (FOV) to 3D Data Encoding

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 13, 3 April 2026.
We describe the fabrication of 3D polymeric waveguide architectures with tunability of waveguide diameter, lattice symmetry and long and short‐range order using an inexpensive (< $400 CAD) digital light projector. We demonstrate that Projector induced Waveguide Encoded Lattices (ProWELs) possess advanced functionality including tuneable Fields of View (

Considering the impact of situation-specific motivations and constraints in the design of naturally ventilated and hybrid buildings [PDF]

, 2012
A simple logical model of the interaction between a building and its occupants is presented based on the principle that if free to do so, people will adjust their posture, clothing or available building controls (windows, blinds, doors, fans, and ...

Broadband Directional Thermal Radiation with Asymmetric Femtosecond Laser‐Processed Surfaces

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Femtosecond laser processing is used to scalably create self‐organized angled microstructures which exhibit highly directional emissivity that occurs for all polarizations. Laser parameters are tuned to alter the surface features, control the direction of emission, and enhance the directional emissivity. Electromagnetic modeling is performed to analyze
