Integrated Modeling to Predict Occupant Thermal Comfort
The two primary functions of a vehicle climate control system are safety through de-icing and de-fogging windows, and occupant thermal comfort. However, vehicle air-conditioning systems can significantly impact fuel economy and tailpipe emissions of conventional and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and reduce electric vehicle (EV) range. In order to meet the new U. S. Supplemental Federal Test P...
متن کاملSensing Occupant Comfort using Wearable Technologies
Thermal comfort of building occupants is a major criterion in evaluating the performance of building systems. It is also a dominant factor in designing and optimizing building’s operation. However, existing thermal comfort models, such as Finger’s model currently adopted by ASHRAE Standard 55, rely on factors that require bulky and expensive equipment to measure. This paper attempts to take a r...
متن کاملLearning User Preferences to Maximise Occupant Comfort in Office Buildings
It is desirable to ensure that the thermal comfort conditions in offices are in line with the preferences of occupants. Controlling their offices correctly therefore requires the correct prediction of their thermal sensation which is often determined using the ISO 7730 norm. The latter defines the predicted mean vote, i.e. the mean thermal preferences of an average group of people, based on a n...
متن کاملA Novel Occupant-adapted and Fuzzy Logic-ready Visual Comfort Modelling Approach Using Machine Learning Algorithms
In this article we present a novel approach to model visual comfort based on supervised statebased machine learning with Hidden Markov Models and one easy-to-obtain variable (illuminance measurements at the horizontal work-plane; Edesk). Data mining was performed on sensor data recorded for two years in a single-occupant office room and the developed model classifies workplane illuminances into...
متن کاملNew approaches to contrast agent modelling
Current options for modelling contrast agent nonlinearities do not predict acoustic propagation. Other popular formulae are restricted to the linear steady state (e.g. for crosssections, sound speed and attenuation). Hence all options for modelling contrast agents have limited applicability to most of the insonification conditions to which they are exposed in vivo. This paper provides a theoret...
