Personalized human comfort in indoor building environments under diverse conditioning modes
TLDR
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.About:

Individual difference in thermal comfort: A literature review
Zhe Wang,Richard de Dear,Maohui Luo,Borong Lin,Yingdong He,Yingdong He,Ali Ghahramani,Yingxin Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the magnitude and significance of individual differences in the preferred/neutral/comfort temperature through reviewing previous climate chamber and field studies, including sex, age and etc.
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
A review of operating performance in green buildings: Energy use, indoor environmental quality and occupant satisfaction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the published researches on post-occupancy performance of green buildings in terms of energy use, indoor environment quality (IEQ) and occupant satisfaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personal thermal comfort models with wearable sensors
TL;DR: It is suggested that Cohen's kappa or AUC should be employed to assess the performance of personal thermal comfort models for imbalanced datasets due to the capacity to exclude random success.

Human-in-the-loop HVAC operations: A quantitative review on occupancy, comfort, and energy-efficiency dimensions
Wooyoung Jung,Farrokh Jazizadeh +1 more
TL;DR: A five-tier hierarchical taxonomy of studies based on their contributions to occupancy- and comfort-driven human-in-the-loop HVAC operations is proposed and categorization for techniques and their quantitative performance assessment is presented.

Random Forests
TL;DR: Internal estimates monitor error, strength, and correlation and these are used to show the response to increasing the number of features used in the forest, and are also applicable to regression.

Thermal comfort: analysis and applications in environmental engineering,
TL;DR: In this paper, an account of research undertaken by the author and his colleagues at the Technical University of Denmark and at the Institute for Environmental Research, Kansas State University is described. But the data in the literature on thermal comfort are extensive, they are disjointed Other CABI sites
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.
