Post-Comfort : A Choreography of Thermal Experiences for Discomfort

open access: yes
What is comfort? It promises predictability, safety, and control over the instability of the natural world. The pursuit of thermal homogeneity—sealed interiors, regulated temperatures, mechanized air—ties architecture to the carbon economy and patterns of overconsumption.

Thermal comfort of various building layouts with a proposed discomfort index range for tropical climate

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Biology, 2014
Recent years have seen issues related to thermal comfort gaining more momentum in tropical countries. The thermal adaptation and thermal comfort index play a significant role in evaluating the outdoor thermal comfort. In this study, the aim is to capture

Real-time and contactless measurements of thermal discomfort based on human poses for energy efficient control of buildings [PDF]

open access: yesBuilding and Environment, 2019
Individual thermal discomfort perception gives important feedback signals for energy efficient control of building heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. However, there is few effective method to measure thermal discomfort status of occupants

The quantitative assessment of thermal discomfort

Environmental Research, 1969
Abstract Discomfort aroused by lowering or raising the operative temperature of a subject's environment was found to follow the “power law” that governs many dimensions in the domain of sensory psychophysics. To a first approximation, discomfort caused by cooling grows as the 1.7 power of shifts downward in temperature from the level that feels ...

THERMAL DISCOMFORT OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE DEVICES

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1990
Respiratory protective devices which would protect the wearer against noxious material and gases are not worn in many of the appropriate circumstances. They have been said to feel uncomfortable and hot. In the present study, six men and six women in a 25 degrees C room reported on facial discomfort, thermal sensation, and sweating while wearing three ...

Discomfort due to Vertical Thermal Gradients

Indoor Air, 1996
Abstract Abstract When 207 subjects wearing their own clothing were randomly assigned to 9 conditions, consisting of 3 levels of vertical thermal gradient (nominally 0, 2 & 4 K/m), and 3 levels of estimated whole-body heat loss (40, 48 & 56 W/m2 as measured on a similarly-clothed and seated thermal manikin, corresponding to warm, neutral and cool ...

Thermal Discomfort Evaluation in Hot Environment

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
In this study, the subjective emotion, galvanic skin response and sweat rate of 10 volunteers were examined under different climatic conditions in a chamber. The conditions were 25°Cwith 50% relative humidity, 30°Cwith 90% relative humidity, 35°Cwith 90% relative humidity, 40°C with 90% relative humidity.

Detecting Human Thermal Discomfort via Physiological Signals

Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, 2017
This paper provides a new approach to the automatic detection of thermal discomfort. We see this research as a step toward the development of an intelligent climate control system that does not require any explicit input from the users. We introduce a novel dataset that simulates different thermal comfort/discomfort levels and we provide a complete ...
