The Chinese thermal comfort dataset [PDF]
AbstractHeating and cooling in buildings accounts for over 20% of total energy consumption in China. Therefore, it is essential to understand the thermal requirements of building occupants when establishing building energy codes that would save energy while maintaining occupants’ thermal comfort.

Since the early twentieth century when air-conditioning began penetrating the market in a serious way, there has been a need for human factors research upon which HVAC engineering practice could be based. Now we have nearly a century of thermal comfort research from climate chambers and much has been learnt in that time.

An IoT Framework for Modeling and Controlling Thermal Comfort in Buildings
Humans spend more than 90% of their day in buildings, where their health and productivity are demonstrably linked to thermal comfort. Building thermal comfort systems account for the largest share of U.S energy consumption. Despite this high-energy cost,

Economically sustainable shade design for feedlot cattle
Provision of shade reduces radiant heat load on feedlot cattle, thus reducing demand of water and energy for thermoregulation. While the positive effects of shade on animal welfare are widely known, the literature lacks data on the magnitude of its ...

Thermal alliesthesia under whole-body step-change transients [PDF]
A better understanding of the psycho-physiological mechanisms driving human thermal perception during dynamic conditions is important to improve physiological-based thermal comfort models. During thermal transients, the two phenomena of thermal overshoot
