A review of thermal comfort models and indicators for indoor environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the most used thermal comfort models and indicators with their variants, discussing their usage in control problems referring to energy management in indoor applications, are reviewed and used to predict the indoor air temperature and the PMV index.

Multi-objective optimization of building energy performance and indoor thermal comfort: A new method using artificial bee colony (ABC)
TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation-based multi-objective optimization of building energy efficiency and indoor thermal comfort is presented to obtain the optimal solutions of the comfort-energy efficient configurations of building envelope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of room air temperature in stratum-ventilated rooms for both thermal comfort and energy saving
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a room air temperature optimization method to achieve intended thermal condition and to minimize energy consumption of the air conditioning system with stratum ventilation simultaneously, and evaluated the energy consumptions of different room air temperatures using building energy simulations.

Investigation of winter indoor thermal environment and heating demand of urban residential buildings in China's hot summer – Cold winter climate region
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the winter indoor thermal environment of dwellings in China's Hot Summer - Cold Winter (HSCW) climate region by on-site measurement, and the driving forces of the heating requirements of residents in HSCW area has been scrutinized by heteroskedasticity-robust Ordinary Least Square analysis.

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.

Thermal adaptation in the built environment: a literature review
Gail Brager,Richard de Dear +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an extensive literature review on the topic of thermal adaptations in the built environment, most likely resulting from a combination of past thermal history in the buildings and differences in levels of perceived control.
