Study of the economical and optimum thermal insulation thickness for buildings in a wet and hot tropical climate: Case of Cameroon

Modeste Kameni Nematchoua, +6 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a literature review on the thermal insulation applications to external walls of buildings was presented, and a case was investigated in a tropical wet and hot climate, where the economic model including the cost of insulation material and the present value of energy consumption and the cost over a lifetime of 22 years of the building, were used to find the optimum insulation thickness, energy saving, and payback period, for buildings in Cameroon.

Effects of temperature and supply airflow rate on thermal comfort in a stratum-ventilated room

Yong Cheng, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a subjective study of thermal comfort in a stratum-ventilated environmental chamber was conducted to evaluate the effect of room temperature on thermal comfort (Test Series 1) and to assess the impact of supply airflow rate and supply air temperature on the overall thermal comfort.

Comparative assessment of HVAC control strategies using personal thermal comfort and sensitivity models

Wooyoung Jung, +1 more
- 01 Jul 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of personal thermal comfort sensitivities on collective conditioning and found that thermal comfort sensitivity plays a statistically significant role in collective conditioning as it resulted in changes of temperature setpoint in 86% of cases and a higher probability of achieving collective comfort.

2D-PIV measurement of aircraft cabin air distribution with a high spatial resolution

Xiaodong Cao, +5 more
- 01 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurement was performed to characterize the mixing air distributions inside a partially transparent aircraft cabin mockup.

Field study on adaptive thermal comfort in mixed mode office buildings in southwestern area of Spain

Elena Barbadilla-Martín, +4 more
- 01 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive thermal comfort model for hybrid buildings is proposed, valid for both the free-running and air-conditioned modes, based on a field study carried out in the southwestern region of Spain.
