TLDR
The findings show that Brisbane residents are at possible risk of exposure to cold and hot temperatures due to the poor thermal performance of houses, and confirm that there is no standard indoor temperature pattern for all houses.About:

TL;DR: Mortality risk due to heat appeared to decrease over time in several countries, with relative risks associated to high temperatures significantly lower in 2006 compared with 1993 in the United States, Japan, and Spain, and a nonsignificant decrease in Canada.
Occupant behaviour and control of indoor environment in Danish dwellings
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of occupant control of the indoor environment in Danish dwellings was carried out by sending out invitations to addresses obtained from a Danish register along with information on dwelling characteristics.

A numerical investigation of balcony geometry impact on single-sided natural ventilation and thermal comfort
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of balcony depth and door opening scale on the natural ventilation performance and thermal comfort of the attached livingroom were investigated in a residential high-rise building in subtropical Brisbane, Australia.

Determining optimal parameter ranges of warm supply air for stratum ventilation using Pareto-based MOPSO and cluster analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the optimal ranges of warm supply air temperature and velocity were derived to achieve both energy-efficient thermal comfort and stable operation of the environmental control system for the heating applications of stratum ventilation.

TL;DR: The number of people exposed to environmental tobacco smoke in California seems to have decreased over the same time period, where exposure is determined by the reported time spent with a smoker.

High ambient temperature and mortality: a review of epidemiologic studies from 2001 to 2008.
TL;DR: Many of these outcomes and vulnerable subgroups have only been identified in recent studies and varied by location and study population, Thus, region-specific policies, especially in urban areas, are vital to the mitigation of heat-related deaths.

Occupants' window opening behaviour: A literature review of factors influencing occupant behaviour and models
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical framework to deal with occupants' interactions with building controls, aimed at improving or maintaining the preferred indoor environmental conditions, is elaborated, which is used to look into the drivers for the actions taken by occupants (windows opening and closing) and investigate the existing models in literature of these actions for both residential and office buildings.

k-Shape: Efficient and Accurate Clustering of Time Series
John Paparrizos,Luis Gravano +1 more
TL;DR: K-Shape as discussed by the authors uses a normalized version of the cross-correlation measure in order to consider the shapes of time series while comparing them, and develops a method to compute cluster centroids, which are used in every iteration to update the assignment of the time series to clusters.
