TL;DR: A review of the most innovative laser Doppler vibrometry (LDVi) advances is presented with reference to recent publications, and different methodologies are categorized according to their relative fields of application as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study on the quantitative estimation of the thermal comfort level in sports facilities with the aim of supporting the development of comfort-based metering and energy control systems for such buildings is presented.

TL;DR: The approach presented proposes the integration of WSNs with Ethernet/Internet/XML/Web Service communications into a ‘knowledge and information services’ platform to support energy management which can be accessed via a Web service to support inhabitant actions to reduce energy demand.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the strict connection, with a prediction accuracy up to 84%, between physiological parameters (Heart Rate Variability and its indices) and human thermal comfort, opening the perspective of real-time measuring comfort for control and energy management purposes, taking into account human-centric parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and numerical approach for evaluating thermal performances of these materials on calibrated middle scale units and the energy impact on real buildings is proposed, which can help manufacturers to accurately compare new products against existing ones taking into account new potential applications (e.g. building facades).
