Seasonal Thermal Sensation Vote – An indicator for long-term energy performance of dwellings with no HVAC systems [PDF]
Dwellings with no heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are commonly found in many countries. The long-term thermal performance of these buildings can be assessed based on hourly data of occupant thermal discomfort integrated over the ...

A method of predicting the dynamic thermal sensation under varying outdoor heat stress conditions in summer [PDF]
Heat stress events in urban areas are increasing as a result of global warming and urban heat islands. In response to heat stress, outdoor activators naturally often move themselves to a less hot place.

Thermal comfort based fuzzy logic control
Most heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) control systems are considered as temperature control problems. In this work, the predicted mean vote (PMV) is used to control the indoor temperature of a space by setting it at a point where the PMV ...
