Effect of humidity on human comfort and productivity after step changes from warm and humid environment
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of humidity on human comfort and productivity under transient conditions from hot and humid environment to thermally neutral condition were evaluated in two climate chambers adjoined each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal comfort standards, measured internal temperatures and thermal resilience to climate change of free-running buildings: A case-study of hospital wards
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on internal temperatures during the day and at night in wards within the tower building at Addenbrooke's hospital, which has a hybrid ventilation strategy.

Assessment of indoor air quality and thermal comfort in Portuguese secondary classrooms: Methodology and results
TL;DR: In this article, a field study about indoor thermal comfort, based on investigations in Portuguese secondary schools' classrooms, was conducted by physical parameters monitoring and survey questionnaires, and the results show that the students found temperature range beyond the comfort zone acceptable, and revealed occupants' accommodation to CO2 exposure, confirming the results obtained in other studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
HVAC control strategies to enhance comfort and minimise energy usage
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used QUICKcontrol, a software tool, to perform the complex and fully integrated building, HVAC and control simulations, which was used to determine the comfort enhancement and energy saving potential with new control strategies for the Human Science Building at the University of Pretoria.
