Summertime temperatures and thermal comfort in UK homes
Kevin J. Lomas,Tom Kane +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, internal summertime temperatures measured in 268 homes in Leicester, UK, were reported, and hourly data were collected from living rooms and bedrooms during the summer of 2009.

A new model predictive control scheme for energy and cost savings in commercial buildings: An airport terminal building case study
Hao Huang,Lei Chen,Eric Hu +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid model predictive control (HMPC) scheme was proposed to minimize the energy and cost of running HVAC systems in commercial buildings, which combines a classical MPC with a neural network feedback linearization method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal comfort in buildings using radiant vs. all-air systems: A critical literature review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a literature review to assess if hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems provide better, equal or lower thermal comfort than all-air systems and found that a limited number of studies are available and therefore a solid answer cannot be given Nevertheless, there is suggestive evidence that radiant systems may provide equal or better comfort than air-conditioning systems.

TL;DR: Physical, mechanical, and environmental factors influencing indoor environmental quality in commercial office buildings; document occupant perceptions and psychosocial attributes; and evaluate relationships among these parameters were characterized to identify and quantify the relative role of factors that contribute to sick building syndrome.

Optimal temperature control of intermittently heated buildings using Model Predictive Control: Part II – Control algorithm
TL;DR: In this article, a new cost function is introduced to minimize the energy consumption while maintaining the thermal comfort in the building, which is formulated to fit into the canonical form of Linear Programming method.
