Assessment of Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) in Transitional Spaces of a High-Rise Building [PDF]

open access: yesAsian Journal of Behavioural Studies, 2018
One passive approach that can significantly reduce energy usage in high-rise buildings is through the creation of non-air conditioned spaces such as transitional spaces. Optimizing passive design would reduce wastage associated with the building’s energy consumption.
