Buildings are often inefficiently conditioned. Rooms that are empty are needlessly conditioned and partially filled rooms are conditioned assuming maximum occupancy. In this demonstration, we describe a system that reduces energy consumption by opportunistically reducing energy consumption based on room usage; we only condition rooms currently occupied

AbstractWe feel a wide range of temperatures spanning from cold to heat. Within this range, temperatures over about 43°C and below about 15°C evoke not only a thermal sensation, but also a feeling of pain. In mammals, six thermosensitive ion channels have been reported, all of which belong to the TRP (transient receptor potential) superfamily.

Thermosensation involving thermo-TRPs
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2021The transient receptor potential (TRP) channels constitute a superfamily of large ion channels that are activated by a wide range of chemical, mechanical and thermal stimuli. TRP channels with temperature sensitivity are called thermo-TRPs. They are involved in diverse physiological functions through their detection of external environmental ...

Peripheral thermosensation in mammals
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2014Our ability to perceive temperature is crucial: it enables us to swiftly react to noxiously cold or hot objects and helps us to maintain a constant body temperature. Sensory nerve endings, upon depolarization by temperature-gated ion channels, convey electrical signals from the periphery to the CNS, eliciting a sense of temperature.

Evolutionary adaptation to thermosensation
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2015Organisms continuously evolve to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Chief among these are daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Relatively small in terms of real physical values, temperature fluctuations of just a few degrees can profoundly affect organismal functions.

[Mechanisms Underlying Thermosensation].
Brain and nerve = Shinkei kenkyu no shinpo, 2022The ability to sense ambient temperatures is essential for human survival. Sensory nerve endings contain ion channels that are activated by temperature stimuli, which lead to cation influx and depolarization with consequent action potential generation via activation of voltage-gated Na+ channels.

Individual differences in oral thermosensation
Physiology & Behavior, 2006Although oral thermosensation is critical to the perception of food and drinks, little information is available on the organization of individual differences in these abilities. We examined the relationship between measures of cooling and warming on the tongue and lip and the association of these measures to taste sensitivity in a sample of 76 healthy ...

Sécuriser l’usage des médicaments thermosensibles
La Revue de l'Infirmière, 2015The safety of patient care entails complying with the temperature requirements for thermosensitive drugs. Field studies carried out at the CHU de Caen University Hospital have demonstrated that patients and caregivers do not understand the critical aspect of thermosensitive drugs.
