In search of the comfortable indoor environment : A comparison of the utility of objective and subjective indicators of indoor comfort
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative utility of subjective (rating scale measures) and objective indicators of perceived comfort of indoor environments was assessed. But the subjective sensory ratings were significantly better than objective indicators at predicting overall rated indoor comfort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance evaluation of radiant cooling system integrated with air system under different operational strategies
TL;DR: In this paper, a study developed to estimate the energy savings potential of a radiant cooling system installed in a commercial building in India was presented, where the building model was calibrated using the measured data for the installed radiant system and this calibrated model was used to simulate the energy consumption of a building using a conventional all-air system to determine the proportional energy savings.

An experimental study on the inherent operational characteristics of a direct expansion (DX) air conditioning (A/C) unit
Zheng Li,Shiming Deng +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the inherent operational characteristics of a direct expansion (DX) A/C unit at a fixed inlet air state when the speeds of both its compressor and supply fan are varied are investigated.

A new comprehensive framework for the multi-objective optimization of building energy design: Harlequin
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-phase and multi-objective design optimization framework is proposed for building energy design, where three phases are carried out to optimize design variables related to the whole building-plants system, considering different energy, comfort, economic and environmental performance indicators.

The influence of bioclimatic urban redevelopment on outdoor thermal comfort
TL;DR: In this paper, the quantitative differentiation of outdoor thermal comfort conditions through bioclimatic urban redevelopment for an area in the city of Serres, Greece is investigated, where the main interventions concern the application of cool paving materials, the increase of vegetated areas and the creation of water surfaces.
