The Relation between Effective Temperature and Thermal Sensation Vote in Tropical Vernacular Houses
International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2020 One of the factors to enable energy efficiency in buildings is creating thermal comfort for the occupants of buildings so that the artificial vaporization is not required. The thermal sensation vote (TSV) is an indicator in analyzing the occupants’ satisfaction on the thermal comfort of their buildings.

Seasonal Thermal Sensation Vote – An indicator for long-term energy performance of dwellings with no HVAC systems [PDF]
Energy and Buildings, 2019 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 required timespan (e.g. total degree hours of discomfort per year).
