TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed to mitigate both issues by using personal comfort requirements of occupants to improve the energy efficiency of HVAC systems in office buildings, which is not energy efficient.Abstract:
Most modern HVAC systems in office buildings are unable to meet diverse comfort requirements of the occupants and are not energy efficient. We propose to mitigate both issues by using personal comf...read more
