Journal ArticleDOI
Using results from field surveys to predict the effect of open windows on thermal comfort and energy use in buildings
Hom Bahadur Rijal,Paul Gerard Tuohy,Michael Humphreys,J.F. Nicol,Aizaz Samuel,Joseph Andrew Clarke +5 more
TL;DR: The research uses results from field surveys to formulate a method for simulation of office buildings to include the effects of window opening behaviour on comfort and energy use and finds that the proportion of windows open depends on indoor and outdoor conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Updating the adaptive relation between climate and comfort indoors; new insights and an extended database
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a method to derive a standard sensitivity to indoor temperatures change, which is used to estimate the comfort temperatures and to establish a curve relating the probability of discomfort to the temperature-difference from the current optimum.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive model of thermal comfort for offices in hot and humid climates of India
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a thermal comfort field study in 28 naturally ventilated (NV) and air-conditioned (AC) offices in Chennai and Hyderabad for fourteen months, and collected 6048 responses from 2787 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field study on adaptive thermal comfort in office buildings in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan during hot and humid season
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected responses from 325 occupants in 13 office buildings employing various ventilation modes, namely, free running (FR), mixed mode (MM), and mechanical cooling (CL), and found that the comfort range differed for each group of occupants under the different ventilation modes.
