Window performance for human thermal comfort

TL;DR: In this article, an improved understanding of the impact of windows on thermal comfort and an analytical method for evaluating this impact was proposed, which could form the basis for a future NFRC window comfort rating method that could be used by designers and consumers.

Optimization of HVAC system energy consumption in a building using artificial neural network and multi-objective genetic algorithm

TL;DR: The combination of artificial neural network and multi-objective genetic algorithm is applied to optimize the two-chiller system operation in a building to show the best result regarding thermal comfort and energy consumption compared to base case design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond the classic thermoneutral zone : including thermal comfort

TL;DR: The biophysical analysis shows that the steady-state ambient temperature range associated with the thermoneutral zone does not guarantee that the body is in thermal balance at basal metabolic rate per se, and may require significant increases in heat production or heat loss to maintain stable core temperature.

Natural Ventilation Design for Houses in Thailand

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the potential of using natural ventilation as a passive cooling system for new house designs in Thailand and developed comprehensive design guidelines for natural ventilation at both the site planning and individual house levels by using computational fluid dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Air movement – good or bad?

TL;DR: Factors influencing the human perception of air movement are summarized and attempts to specify in general terms when air movement is desirable and when it is not.
