Journal ArticleDOI
Occupants’ behavioural adaptation in workplaces with non-central heating and cooling systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a dynamic process of occupant behaviours involving technological, personal and psychological adaptations in response to varied thermal conditions based on the data covering four seasons gathered from the field study in Chongqing, China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupant performance and building energy consumption with different philosophies of determining acceptable thermal conditions
TL;DR: Based on building energy and indoor environment simulations, the authors uses a recently developed method relying on Bayesian Network theory to estimate and compare the consequences for occupant performance and energy consumption of applying temperature criteria set according to the adaptive model of thermal comfort and the more conventional PMV model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ten questions concerning well-being in the built environment
Sergio Altomonte,Joseph P. Allen,Philomena M. Bluyssen,Gail Brager,Lisa Heschong,Angela Loder,Stefano Schiavon,Jennifer A. Veitch,Lily M. Wang,Pawel Wargocki +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a discussion on how to effectively design, measure, and nurture well-being in the built environment, with a specific focus on some of the key physical factors (e.g., light, temperature, sound, and air quality) of indoor environmental quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moisture performance of building materials: From material characterization to building simulation using the Moisture Buffer Value concept
TL;DR: In this paper, the Moisture Buffer Value (MBV) is used to measure the amount of water vapor that is transported in or out of a material, during a certain period of time, when the vapor concentration of the surrounding air varies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simulation approach to estimate energy savings potential of occupant behavior measures
Kaiyu Sun,Tianzhen Hong +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced a simulation approach to estimate the energy savings potential of occupant behavior measures in office buildings, which can achieve overall site energy savings as high as 22.9% for individual measures and up to 41.0% for integrated measures.
