Journal ArticleDOI
Outdoor thermal comfort study in a sub-tropical climate: a longitudinal study based in Hong Kong.
TL;DR: The use of predicted mean vote (PMV) in the outdoor context is examined and the use of an alternative thermal index—physiological equivalent temperature (PET) is illustrated to support the conventional assumption that thermal neutrality corresponds to thermal comfort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban human thermal comfort in hot and humid Hong Kong
Edward Ng,Vicky Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an outdoor thermal comfort study conducted in Hong Kong and reveal that air temperature, wind speed and solar radiation intensity are influential factors in determining the thermal sensation of people outdoor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of envelope colour and thermal mass on indoor temperatures in hot humid climate
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effect of envelope color and thermal mass on indoor temperatures and showed that the use of lighter surface colour and Thermal mass can dramatically reduce maximum indoor temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling domestic energy consumption at district scale: A tool to support national and local energy policies
Vicky Cheng,Koen Steemers +1 more
TL;DR: The DECM model can be a useful tool to assist the formation of energy efficiency policies at both national and local levels and over 85% of the variance in dwelling energy consumptions and carbon emissions can be accounted for by dwelling type and the socio-economic class of households.
Urban Form, Density and Solar Potential
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between built forms, density and solar potential, with reference to three design criteria i.e. openness at ground level, daylight factor on building facade and PV potential on building envelope.
