Predictive controllers for thermal comfort optimization and energy savings
TLDR
In this article, the authors focused on the study of indoor thermal comfort control problem in buildings equipped with HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems, where the occupants' thermal comfort sensation is addressed by the well-known comfort index known as PMV and by a comfort zone defined in a psychrometric chart.About:

Journal Article
A standard predictive index of human response to the thermal environment
TL;DR: The three rational indices of this type to be considered are ASHRAE's Standard Effective Temperature (SET*) Index, defined as the equivalent dry bulb temperature of an isothermal environment at 50% RH in which a subject, while wearing clothing standardized for activity concerned, would have the same heat stress (skin temperature T/sub sk/) and thermo-regulatory strain (skin wettedness, w) as in the actual test environment; Fanger's Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) index, defined in terms of the heat load that would be required to restore
