Determination of the Thermally Comfortable Air Temperature with Consideration of Individual Clothing and Activity as Preparation for a New Smart Home Heating System

Proceedings, 2018
The aim of this paper is to determine a thermally comfortable air temperature in an automated living room. This calculated temperature should serve as input for a user-specific and dynamic heating control in an automated living space.

How Intense Policy Demanders Shape Postreform Politics: Evidence from the Affordable Care Act [PDF]

, 2018
The implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been a politically volatile process. The ACA\u27s institutional design and delayed feedback effects created a window of opportunity for its partisan opponents to launch challenges at both the ...

Analysis of equivalent metabolic rate (EMT) used for predicted mean vote: A case study in Chongqing, China

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021
The predicted mean vote (PMV) model is widely used in air-conditioning operation management. In practice, the metabolic rate (MT), obtained by using the standard table, is the most important but inaccurate input of PMV.

Coalition Formation in a Legislative Voting Game [PDF]

, 2013
We experimentally investigate the Jackson-Moselle (2002) model where legislators bargain over policy proposals and the allocation of private goods. Key comparative static predictions of the model hold as policy proposals shift in the predicted direction ...
