Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the semantics of thermal comfort in terms of thermal sensation, acceptability, and preference, as a function of both indoor and outdoor temperature, as predicted by the adaptive hypothesis.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive hypothesis predicts that contextual factors and past thermal history modify building occupants' thermal expectations and preferences, which is contrary to static assumptions underlying the current ASHRAE comfort standard 55-92.

Thermal adaptation in the built environment: a literature review
Gail Brager,Richard de Dear +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an extensive literature review on the topic of thermal adaptations in the built environment, most likely resulting from a combination of past thermal history in the buildings and differences in levels of perceived control.
Thermal comfort in naturally ventilated buildings: revisions to ASHRAE Standard 55 - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: The adaptive comfort standard (ACS) as discussed by the authors is based on the analysis of 21,000 sets of raw data compiled from field studies in 160 buildings located on four continents in varied climatic zones.
