Behavioural responses to cold thermal discomfort [PDF]
Building Research & Information, 2015 Heating energy demand in buildings depends in part on occupants' behavioural responses to thermal discomfort during the heating season. The understanding of this has become one of the priorities in the quest to reduce energy demand. Thermal comfort models have long been associated with occupants' behaviour by predicting their state of thermal comfort ...
