Journal ArticleDOI
Literature survey on how different factors influence human comfort in indoor environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a literature survey aimed at exploring how the indoor environment in buildings affects human comfort, including thermal, visual and acoustic, as well as air quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of human thermal comfort in the built environment
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on human thermal comfort in the built environment is presented, which includes standards, indoor experiments in controlled environments, indoor field studies in educational, office, residential and other building types, productivity, human physiological models, outdoor and semi-outdoor field studies.

The dark side of occupants’ behaviour on building energy use
O.T. Masoso,L.J. Grobler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that more energy is used during non-working hours (56%) than during working hours (44%). This arises largely from occupants' behaviour of leaving lights and equipment on at the end of the day, and partly due to poor zoning and controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between detailed model simulation and artificial neural network for forecasting building energy consumption
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison is made between a simple model based on artificial neural network (ANN) and a model that is based on physical principles (EnergyPlus) as an auditing and predicting tool in order to forecast building energy consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupants' window opening behaviour: A literature review of factors influencing occupant behaviour and models
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical framework to deal with occupants' interactions with building controls, aimed at improving or maintaining the preferred indoor environmental conditions, is elaborated, which is used to look into the drivers for the actions taken by occupants (windows opening and closing) and investigate the existing models in literature of these actions for both residential and office buildings.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the semantics of thermal comfort in terms of thermal sensation, acceptability, and preference, as a function of both indoor and outdoor temperature, as predicted by the adaptive hypothesis.

Extension of the PMV model to non-air-conditioned buildings in warm climates
P. Ole Fanger,Jørn Toftum +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the PMV model that includes an expectancy factor was introduced for use in non-air-conditioned buildings in warm climates, which agrees well with quality field studies of three continents.
