Drivers of diversity in human thermal perception – A review for holistic comfort models

TL;DR: The results of this review show the clear contribution of some physiological and psychological factors, such as body composition, metabolic rate, adaptation to certain thermal environments and perceived control, to differences in thermal perception, however, the role of other potential diversity-causing parameters remain uncertain.

Application of phase change materials in gypsum boards to meet building energy conservation goals

TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of PCM-impregnated gypsum boards on improving the thermal performance of buildings in order to achieve such energy reduction goals was evaluated and four different criteria were considered and a simplified cost analysis was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stratum ventilation – A potential solution to elevated indoor temperatures

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of a typical office in Hong Kong under local thermal and boundary conditions, is used to illustrate the performance of this new ventilation mode, with properly designed supplied air velocity and volume, locations of supply and exhaust, the proposed system has the potential to maintain better thermal comfort with a smaller temperature difference between the head and foot level, lower energy consumption, and better indoor air quality in the breathing zone.

Combined effects of acoustic, thermal, and illumination conditions on the comfort of discrete senses and overall indoor environment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of multisensory interaction on acoustic comfort, thermal comfort, visual comfort, and indoor environmental comfort with three physical indoor environmental factors, i.e., acoustic, thermal, and illumination conditions in an environmentally controlled laboratory.
