Machine learning approaches to predict thermal demands using skin temperatures: Steady-state conditions

TL;DR: Considering the overfitting possibility and the cases without learning processes, SVM classifiers with a linear kernel are preferred over Gaussian kernel ones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal comfort prediction using normalized skin temperature in a uniform built environment

TL;DR: In this article, a method termed as Predicted Thermal State (PTS) model is presented, which uses the peripheral skin temperature and its gradient features from a single body location to evaluate the thermal state.

Development of benchmark models for the Egyptian residential buildings sector

TL;DR: In this paper, two building performance simulation models are created reflecting the average energy consumption characteristics of air-conditioned residential apartments in Alexandria, Cairo and Asyut, and the simulation models were verified against the apartment characteristic found in the survey.

Neural computing thermal comfort index for HVAC systems

TL;DR: In this article, a feed forward neural network model is proposed as an explicit function of the relation of the predicted mean vote (PMV index to accessible variables, i.e. the air temperature, wet bulb temperature, globe temperature, air velocity, clothing insulation and human activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dynamics of thermal comfort expectations: The problem, challenge and impication

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative questionnaire survey was conducted in China where indoor thermal environments during winter in the northern region (with pervasive district heating) are much warmer than in the southern region (without district heating).
