Intelligent Residential Air-Conditioning System With Smart-Grid Functionality
Auswin George Thomas,Pedram Jahangiri,Di Wu,Chengrui Cai,Huan Zhao,Dionysios C. Aliprantis,Leigh Tesfatsion +6 more
TL;DR: This paper sets forth a novel intelligent residential air-conditioning system controller that has smart grid functionality and uses an array of environmental and occupancy parameters in order to provide optimal intertemporal comfort/cost trade-offs for the resident, conditional on anticipated retail energy prices.

Personalized Ventilation for Commercial Aircraft Cabins
Naiping Gao,Jianlei Niu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics technique was used to investigate the dispersion characteristics of sneezed/coughing particles by both the Eulerian and Lagrangian methods, and the results showed that personalized ventilation, through the distribution of fresh air directly in the breathing zone, was able to shield up to 60% of air pollutants in a passenger's inhalation.

A comprehensive review of thermal adaptive strategies in outdoor spaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a critical analysis on the thermal adaptive strategies that are advisable for outdoor spaces, which are structured around the Adaptation to Outdoor Climate (AOC) model containing three clusters of adaptive strategies: (a) environmental and technological modifications, (b) behavioral adjustments, and (c) psychological adaptation.

Moisture parameters and fungal communities associated with gypsum drywall in buildings
Sandra Dedesko,Jeffrey A. Siegel +1 more
TL;DR: A literature review was conducted specifically on moisture-induced fungal growth on gypsum drywall, revealing that there is no consistent measurement approach used to characterize moisture in laboratory and field studies, with relative humidity measurements being most common.
