The Energy Cost of Cold Thermal Discomfort in the Global South [PDF]

Buildings, 2020
The Global South, much of it in warm tropical latitudes, is expected to double its total energy demand by 2050. In addition to increased mean demand, greater demand for space cooling during external temperature peaks will exacerbate the strain on already fragile energy networks.

An evaluation of the nature and timing of summer human thermal discomfort in Athens, Greece [PDF]

, 2002
An assessment of the summer human thermal climate over the period 1966-1995 for Athens, Greece, was undertaken using the predicted mean vote (PMV). At the seasonal (diurnal) time scale human thermal discomfort reaches a maximum over a 20 d (4 to 6 h ...
