Developing the Reliable Shallow Supervised Learning for Thermal Comfort using ASHRAE RP-884 and ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II [PDF]

open access: yes2024, Aug Vol 1, 2023
The artificial intelligence (AI) system designer for thermal comfort faces insufficient data recorded from the current user or overfitting due to unreliable training data. This work introduces the reliable data set for training the AI subsystem for thermal comfort. This paper presents the control algorithm based on shallow supervised learning, which is

Variables That Affect Thermal Comfort and Its Measuring Instruments: A Systematic Review

open access: yesSustainability, 2022
Thermal comfort can impact the general behavior of the occupants, and considering that humans currently perform 90% of their daily work indoors, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of thermal comfort assessments, and a correct selection of variables ...

Heart Rate Variability as an Indicator of Thermal Comfort State [PDF]

open access: yes2017 56th Annual Conference of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan (SICE), 2020
Thermal comfort is a personal assessment of one's satisfaction with the surroundings. Yet, most thermal comfort delivery mechanisms preclude physiological and psychological precursors to thermal comfort. Accordingly, many people feel either cold or hot in an environment that is supposedly thermally comfortable to most people.

Cohort comfort models -- Using occupants' similarity to predict personal thermal preference with less data [PDF]

open access: yesBuilding and Environment 2023; 227:109685, 2022
We introduce Cohort Comfort Models, a new framework for predicting how new occupants would perceive their thermal environment. Cohort Comfort Models leverage historical data collected from a sample population, who have some underlying preference similarity, to predict thermal preference responses of new occupants. Our framework is capable of exploiting

Energy-efficient control of thermal comfort in multi-zone residential HVAC via reinforcement learning

open access: yesConnection science, 2022
Energy efficient control of thermal comfort has been already an important part of residential heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. However, the optimisation of energy saving control for thermal comfort is not an easy task due to the
