People's subjective response to any thermal environment is commonly investigated by using rating scales describing the degree of sensation, comfort, and acceptability. Subsequent analyses results collected in this way rely on assumption that specific distances between verbal anchors placed scale exist relationships from different dimensions are assessed (e.g. sensation comfort) do not change. Another inherent such independent context which they used (climate zone, season, etc.). Despite...
Abstract Thermal discomfort is one of the main triggers for occupants’ interactions with components built environment such as adjustments thermostats and/or opening windows and strongly related to energy use in buildings. Understanding causes thermal (dis-)comfort crucial design operation any type building. The assessment human perception through rating scales, example post-occupancy studies, has been applied several decades; however, long-existing assumptions these scales had questioned by...
Desk fans allow individual thermal adjustment in shared spaces which increases occupants' satisfaction. When associated with the increase of room conditioning system setpoint temperature, they can also reduce energy use. In comparison to other Personal Comfort Systems (PCS), low-power desk be very efficient for cooling. Nevertheless, previous studies identify some barriers their implementation and show no clear guidelines on how overcome them. Therefore, this study presents results a field...

The use of personal fans allows improving thermal comfort and energy savings in warm office spaces. This is due to individual adjustment extended indoor temperature acceptability. However, achieve that, the usability must be assured. Therefore, an experiment with 40 people various age groups was carried out assess four types fans, one which evaporative cooling device. goal find criteria should used for selecting a fan implement space. Results show that airflow sensation speed are considered...
Conventional integrated shading and lighting systems are usually sensor-dependent, which could entail excessive cost labor associated with sensor installation, calibration, maintenance. Advanced use daylight modeling to eliminate the of physical sensors. However, real-time simulation can be computation-heavy, leading a slow response system. This paper proposed data-driven method for control, employing machine learning models developed from pre-simulated data predict daylighting control blind...
