Can personal control influence human thermal comfort? A field study in residential buildings in China in winter
TL;DR: An investigational study in which occupants in residential apartments had different degrees of personal control over their space heating systems provides support for the adaptive model and can serve as a valuable reference for the design of more efficientspace heating systems.

Investigation on the impacts of different genders and ages on satisfaction with thermal environments in office buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of occupant gender and age on thermal satisfaction in office environments were investigated, and the results showed that females are more dissatisfied with their thermal environments than males especially in the summer season with high significance, and occupants over 40 years old are more satisfied than under 40 in the cooling season with marginal significance.

Thermal comfort evaluation in kindergarten: PMV and PPD measurement through datalogger and questionnaire
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a study about thermal comfort measurement and evaluation in kindergartens for children of 4 and 5 years of age, where the overall study objective is to compare indoor microclimate parameters, measured with a Datalogger following EN ISO 7730, and children's subjective judgment, collected through a questionnaire following ENISO 10551.

Multi-objective design optimization of distributed energy systems through cost and exergy assessments
M. Di Somma,Bing Yan,Nicola Bianco,Giorgio Graditi,Peter B. Luh,Luigi Mongibello,Vincenzo Naso +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated exergy in DES design to attain rational use of energy resources including renewables by considering energy qualities of supply and demand, and found that using low-temperature sources for low-quality thermal demand can reduce the waste of high-quality energy, and the overall exergy efficiency can be increased.

Thermal Environment Assessment Reliability Using Temperature —Humidity Indices
TL;DR: Results show that Humidex index very often leads to the underestimation of the workplace dangerousness and a poor reliability of comfort prediction when it is used in indoor situations.
