In the coming decades, global warming and increase in temperature, in different regions of the world, may change indoor and outdoor thermal comfort conditions and human health. The aim of this research was to study the effects of global warming on thermal comfort conditions in indoor ambiences in Iran. To study the increase in temperature, model for assessment of greenhouse-gas induced climate ...

A personalized thermal comfort prediction method is proposed for use in combination with smart controls for building automation. Occupant thermal comfort is traditionally measured and predicted by the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) metric, which is based on extensive field trials linking reported comfort levels with the various factors. However, PMV is a statistical measure applying to large populat...

From the ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II, several researchers in East and South Asia utilized personal environmental variables to establish thermal comfort model. Body temperatures at locations were most input. The collected papers from 2003 2022 analyze progressive development of model by using VOSviewer. results indicate that scant research discusses relationship between multiple ph...

ABSRTACT: Design strategies for open spaces need detailed information about the thermal comfort conditions. The actual use of open spaces is analysed depending on the microclimatic conditions and activities. With measurements, observations and calculations with a thermal comfort model the results could be used for a open place design. The results are demonstrated at two open spaces in Kassel /G...

UNLABELLED Some prior research in office buildings has associated higher indoor temperatures even within the recommended thermal comfort range with increased worker symptoms. We reexamined this relationship in data from 95 office buildings in the US Environmental Protection Agency's Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation Study. We investigated relationships between building-related symptoms ...

Experimentally, the effects of environmental conditions upon human capabilities have been studied most often through the imposition of a single stressor in isolation. Although it seems to be a common belief that thermal comfort can be influenced by concomitant stimulation of non-tactile sensorial modalities, few studies have succeeded in delineating non-tactile stimulations, which interact with...

Green infrastructure can improve thermal comfort in outdoor urban spaces in moderate climates. The impact of green spaces on thermal comfort is often exclusively investigated through meteorological variables and human-biometeorological indices. Yet, studies on perceived thermal comfort are scarce. As thermal comfort is a property of human perception of the thermal environment, this knowledge is...
