TLDR
Three adaptive thermal comfort standards are comprehensively reviewed: the American ASHRAE 55-2010 standard, the European EN15251 standard, and the Dutch ATG guideline and a case study from the Netherlands is compared.Abstract:
Thermal comfort has been discussed since 1930s. There have been two main approaches to thermal comfort: the steady-state model and the adaptive model. The adaptive model is mainly based on the theory of the human body's adapting to its outdoor and indoor climate. In this paper, besides the steady-state model, three adaptive thermal comfort standards are comprehensively reviewed: the American ASHRAE 55-2010 standard, the European EN15251 standard, and the Dutch ATG guideline. Through a case study from the Netherlands, these standards are compared. The main differences discussed between the standards are the equations for upper and lower limits, reference temperatures, acceptable temperature ranges and databases.read more

A Review of Thermal Comfort in Primary Schools and Future Challenges in Machine Learning Based Prediction for Children
Betty Lala,Aya Hagishima +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a comprehensive review of thermal comfort studies in primary school classrooms since 1962 and highlight three major children-specific AI/ML challenges, viz., "illogical votes", "multiple comfort metrics", and "extreme class imbalance".

Enhancing thermal comfort of residential buildings through dual functional passive system (solar-wall)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used simulation software, DesignBuilder, to configure the solar wall and study its impact on indoor operative temperature for the base case, and the simulation results were compared with those obtained in the base cases and analyzed to determine the most efficient system design parameters and implementation method.

Assessment of Dust, Chemical, Microbiological Pollutions and Microclimatic Parameters of Indoor Air in Sports Facilities
TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed the indoor air quality in sport facilities in one of the sport centres in Poland with respect to microclimatic parameters (temperature, humidity, and air flow velocity), particulate matter concentrations (PM10, PM4, PM2.5, and PM1), gas concentrations (oxygen, ozone, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, and benzopyrene), and microbial contamination (the total number of bacteria, specifically staphylococci, including Staphylocus aureus, haemolytic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas fluorescens, actinomycetes, and xerophilic fungi).
Dissertation
Impact of residents' past thermal experiences on thermal comfort and energy performance in a high-rise residential building
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of moving from one climate to another on thermal preferences in a residential setting and the associated energy implications and found that there are statistically significant differences in temperature preference between long term and new UK residents.
