Energy conservation measures in an institutional building in sub-tropical climate in Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, various energy conservation measures (ECMs) on heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting systems for a four-storied institutional building in sub-tropical (hot and humid climate) Queensland, Australia are evaluated using the simulation software called DesignBuilder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addressing climate change in comfort standards
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that both mitigation of greenhouse gases and adaptation to climate change should be added to building codes and standards and propose a new thermal comfort standard for buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal performance of buildings integrated with phase change materials to reduce heat stress risks during extreme heatwave events
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential applications of PCMs to be integrated into buildings to reduce heat stress risks during extreme heatwave periods through numerical simulations and showed that PCM refurbishment can effectively reduce the indoor heat stress risk, indicating a significant advantage in improving the occupant health and comfort.

Comfort under personally controlled air movement in warm and humid environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of personally controlled air movement on human thermal comfort and perceived air quality in warm-humid environments were examined, and the average energy consumed by the fans for maintaining comfort was lower than 10 W per person.
