TLDR
In this paper, a yearlong thermal comfort survey in one of the even naturally ventilated buildings in Oxford was conducted to evaluate the use of available controls and their appropriate use in modifying the indoor thermal conditions.About:

Using results from field surveys to predict the effect of open windows on thermal comfort and energy use in buildings
Hom Bahadur Rijal,Paul Gerard Tuohy,Michael Humphreys,J.F. Nicol,Aizaz Samuel,Joseph Andrew Clarke +5 more
TL;DR: The research uses results from field surveys to formulate a method for simulation of office buildings to include the effects of window opening behaviour on comfort and energy use and finds that the proportion of windows open depends on indoor and outdoor conditions.

Interactions with window openings by office occupants
Frédéric Haldi,Darren Robinson +1 more
TL;DR: A hybrid of these techniques which models stochastic usage behaviour in a comprehensive and efficient way is proposed, and an algorithm for implementing this model in dynamic building simulation tools is described.

Towards sustainable, energy-efficient and healthy ventilation strategies in buildings: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the development of energy-efficient and healthy ventilation in buildings is presented, where the influence of occupants' behaviour on the energy use and the correlation between ventilation and the occupants' health and productivity are also considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal comfort: use of controls in naturally ventilated buildings
TL;DR: In this article, a field study of the thermal comfort of workers in natural ventilated office buildings in Oxford and Aberdeen, UK, was carried out which included information about use of building controls.
Passive cooling methods for energy efficient buildings with and without thermal energy storage - A review
N. B. Geetha,Ramalingam Velraj +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of various possible methods of passive cooling for buildings and discuss the representative applications of each method and the relevant information about the performance reported by various researchers.

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.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive hypothesis predicts that contextual factors and past thermal history modify building occupants' thermal expectations and preferences, which is contrary to static assumptions underlying the current ASHRAE comfort standard 55-92.
