Journal ArticleDOI
On the Interaction between Lighting and Thermal Comfort: an Integrated Approach to IEQ
Laura Bellia,Francesca Romana d’Ambrosio Alfano,Francesca Fragliasso,Boris Igor Palella,Giuseppe Riccio +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a subjective investigation carried out in a special mechanically conditioned test room provided with white-tuning LED sources was carried out to verify the hue-heat hypothesis, which is based on the idea that light and colors can affect the thermal perception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fifty years of Fanger's equation: Is there anything to discover yet?
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of methods for determining the clothing surface temperature is reported, demonstrating that the algorithms reported in ISO 7730 and ASHRAE 55 Standards from more than 30 years are reliable and consistent with other home-made codes based on different numerical techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the metabolic rate based on the recording of the heart rate.
TL;DR: A Monte Carlo simulation is used to determine the imprecision of the estimated equivalent metabolic rate from the approximations of parameters and formulas used to estimate the maximum working capacity, the maximum heart rate, the heart rate and the metabolic rate at rest.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Effect of Thermophysical Properties of Clothing on the Heat Strain Predicted by PHS Model
TL;DR: An analysis focusing on the modelling of the dynamic thermal insulation and the vapour resistance of the clothing reported in ISO 9920 and ISO 7933 standards will be discussed, providing useful evidence to start a discussion on the best practice for dealing with clothing thermophysical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Air-Tightness Analysis in Mediterranean Buildings after Windows Retrofit
Francesca Romana d’Ambrosio Alfano,Marco Dell'Isola,Giorgio Ficco,Boris Igor Palella,Giuseppe Riccio +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental results of airtightness measurements carried out using the fan pressurization method in three residential buildings located in the Mediterranean region before and after a window retrofit were investigated.
