Journal ArticleDOI
A study about the demand for air movement in warm environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the results of a research with both an online survey and a series of climate chamber experiment to study user requirements for air movement in their daily life and find that electric fans were widely accepted in both homes and offices because they were environmental friendly, low-cost and could provide a fresh feeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human metabolic rate and thermal comfort in buildings: The problem and challenge
TL;DR: The dairy methods prevalent in thermal comfort research and practice are probably not accurate enough to sustain common thermal comfort modeling with any semblance of precision, and additional research effort is needed to develop better metabolic rate estimation methods for building occupants.
Journal ArticleDOI
State-of-the-art in liquid desiccant air conditioning equipment and systems
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of liquid desiccant air conditioning (LDAC) equipment and systems is presented in this paper, where the authors identify gaps in the literature to be considered by future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peak load reductions: Electric load shifting with mechanical pre-cooling of residential buildings with low thermal mass
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an advanced airflow, energy and humidity modeling tool to evaluate the potential for residential mechanical pre-cooling of building thermal mass to shift electricity loads away from the peak electricity demand period.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of air movement from ceiling fans on subjective thermal comfort and perceived air quality (PAQ) were examined for warm-humid environments, and the preferred air speeds for ceiling fans were in many cases higher than the limit specified in ASHRAE Standard, which is 0.8m/s when users have no control over the fan.
