Personal comfort models: Predicting individuals' thermal preference using occupant heating and cooling behavior and machine learning
TL;DR: It is concluded that personal comfort models based on occupants’ heating and cooling behavior can effectively predict individuals’ thermal preference and can therefore be used in everyday comfort management to improve occupant satisfaction and energy use in buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personal comfort models – A new paradigm in thermal comfort for occupant-centric environmental control
TL;DR: A modeling framework is described to establish fundamental concepts and methodologies for developing and evaluating personal comfort models, followed by a discussion of how such models can be integrated into indoor environmental controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personalized human comfort in indoor building environments under diverse conditioning modes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested a smartphone application framework which is capable of dynamically determining the optimum room conditioning mode (mechanical conditioning or natural ventilation) and HVAC settings (thermostat setpoint) in single and multi-occupancy spaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of indoor environmental quality on human health and productivity - A review
TL;DR: The article aims to provide a comprehensive view of challenges being faced daily by researchers and the research currently being done on the forefront of indoor environmental quality to gain a concise overview of this field of studies and a base to build their future research upon.
Journal ArticleDOI
User-led decentralized thermal comfort driven HVAC operations for improved efficiency in office buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework that integrates building occupants' personalized thermal profiles into the HVAC control logic, enabling occupants to communicate their preferences for indoor thermal conditions through a user interface, leveraging a participatory sensing approach.

Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
TL;DR: The book is an introduction to the idea of design patterns in software engineering, and a catalog of twenty-three common patterns, which most experienced OOP designers will find out they've known about patterns all along.

Fuzzy identification of systems and its applications to modeling and control
T. Takagi,Michio Sugeno +1 more
TL;DR: A mathematical tool to build a fuzzy model of a system where fuzzy implications and reasoning are used is presented and two applications of the method to industrial processes are discussed: a water cleaning process and a converter in a steel-making process.

The concept of a linguistic variable and its application to approximate reasoning—II☆
TL;DR: Much of what constitutes the core of scientific knowledge may be regarded as a reservoir of concepts and techniques which can be drawn upon to construct mathematical models of various types of systems and thereby yield quantitative information concerning their behavior.
