Journal ArticleDOI
Derivation of the adaptive equations for thermal comfort in free-running buildings in European standard EN15251
Fergus Nicol,Michael Humphreys +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a relationship between indoor comfort and outdoor climate was developed for free-running buildings using data collected in the EU project Smart Controls and Thermal Comfort (SCATs), and the indoor comfort conditions were related to the running mean of the outdoor temperature, and the effects of air movement and humidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive thermal comfort standards in the hot–humid tropics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present some of the evidence and suggests ways in which International standards are failing and how they might be complemented using adaptive comfort standards derived from the results of local comfort surveys.
Book
Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline the principles on which the theory of adaptive thermal comfort is based and how to use field studies to measure thermal comfort in practice and to analyze the data gathered.

TL;DR: The ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II (Comfort Database II) as discussed by the authors is an open-source thermal comfort database that includes approximately 81,846 complete sets of objective indoor climatic observations with accompanying subjective evaluations by the building occupants who were exposed to them.
Book
Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change: A 21st Century Survival Guide
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the evolution of buildings, risk, scenarios and climate change in the context of buildings and their adaptation to climate change, and propose the Resilient Building Index (RBI).
