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
Development of an adaptive window-opening algorithm to predict the thermal comfort, energy use and overheating in buildings
Hom Bahadur Rijal,Paul Gerard Tuohy,J. Fergus Nicol,Michael Humphreys,Aizaz Samuel,Joseph Andrew Clarke +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how people control the indoor environment by opening windows, the cooling potential of opening windows and the use of an adaptive algorithm for predicting window-opening behavior for thermal simulation in ESP-r.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal performance of a naturally ventilated building using a combined algorithm of probabilistic occupant behaviour and deterministic heat and mass balance models
TL;DR: The results suggest that the Yun algorithm better reflects the observed time of day effects on window use (i.e. the increased probability of action on arrival) than the alternative behavioural algorithm developed by Humphreys.
Development of adaptive algorithms for the operation of windows, fans, and doors to predict thermal comfort and energy use in Pakistani buildings
Hom Bahadur Rijal,Paul Gerard Tuohy,Michael Humphreys,J. Fergus Nicol,Aizaz Samuel,Iftikhar A. Raja,Joseph Andrew Clarke +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a year-round field investigation of the use of building controls (windows, doors and fans) in 33 Pakistani offices and commercial buildings focuses on how occupants' behavior is related to thermal comfort, how people modify the indoor environment and how we can predict the occupants' behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Twentieth century standards for thermal comfort: Promoting high energy buildings
TL;DR: The urgent need to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a bid to meet increasingly stringent GHG targets has focused the attention of scientists on the built environment as discussed by the authors.
