Thermal comfort models and their developments: A review
TL;DR: In this review, the existing thermal comfort models are summarized from various perspectives, such as models applied in different environments like sleeping environment and outdoor environment, and models used for different groups people,such as elderly and different races are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of an adaptive thermal comfort model for energy-saving building design in Japan
TL;DR: In order to quantify the seasonal differences in the comfort temperature and to develop a domestic adaptive model for highly insulated Japanese dwellings, thermal measurements and a thermal comfort model were used in this paper.

The influence of acclimatization, age and gender-related differences on thermal perception in university buildings: Case studies in Scotland and England
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated thermal comfort in two university campuses in Scotland and England and found that the higher acceptable temperature in Coventry (23.5°C) than Edinburgh (22.1ºC) reinforced the results on the influence of climatic adaptation.

A field investigation on adaptive thermal comfort in school buildings in the temperate climatic region of Nepal
TL;DR: In this article, a survey was conducted on the indoor thermal environment and the associated thermal perception during the middle autumnal season in 2017, where 818 students participated in this survey; they voted three times: at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of each 45-min lesson.

Thermal adaptation in the built environment: a literature review
Gail Brager,Richard de Dear +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an extensive literature review on the topic of thermal adaptations in the built environment, most likely resulting from a combination of past thermal history in the buildings and differences in levels of perceived control.
Understanding the adaptive approach to thermal comfort
Humphreys,J.F. Nicol +1 more
TL;DR: The evaluation of the parameters of the adaptive model requires cross-sectional surveys to establish current norms and sequential surveys to evaluate the rapidity of people`s adaptive actions.

Developing an adaptive control algorithm for Europe
TL;DR: The results show that use of the ACA has potential for energy savings in the climate-control services of a building with no reduction in the perceived thermal comfort levels of that building’s occupants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outdoor temperatures and comfort indoors
TL;DR: Using available data of outdoor temperatures in a given locality, it is possible, the author suggests, to forecast the range of temperatures that occupants will require indoors in order to feel comfortable as mentioned in this paper.

Thermal comfort for naturally ventilated houses in Indonesia
Henry Feriadi,Nyuk Hien Wong +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extensive field survey conducted in residential buildings in Indonesia, 525 sets of data had been gathered and it was observed that under hot and humid tropical climate, people indicated preference to a cooler environment as compared to what the neutral temperature has shown.
