Micrometeorological simulations to predict the impacts of heat mitigation strategies on pedestrian thermal comfort in a Los Angeles neighborhood

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of four heat mitigation strategies on micrometeorology and the thermal comfort of pedestrians were simulated for a neighborhood in eastern Los Angeles County, and the strategies investigated include solar reflective “cool” roofs, vegetative “green roofs, solar reflective cool pavements, and increased street-level trees.

A review on windcatcher for passive cooling and natural ventilation in buildings, Part 1: Indoor air quality and thermal comfort assessment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared different theoretical and experimental methods employed by researchers in different case studies to assess the indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort aspects of windcatchers and found that satisfactory IAQ were generally achieved using the windcatcher.

Model predictive control with adaptive machine-learning-based model for building energy efficiency and comfort optimization

TL;DR: In this article, a model predictive control system with adaptive machine-learning-based building models for building automation and control applications is proposed, which employs a multi-objective function that could optimize both energy efficiency and indoor thermal comfort, two often contradicting demands.
