Thermal comfort evaluated for combinations of energy-efficient personal heating and cooling devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of minimum power personal comfort system (PCS) devices was built that target body parts significant to alliesthesia, such as a heated shoe insole, heated wristpad, small desk fan, and heated/cooled chair.

CFD study on effect of the air supply location on the performance of the displacement ventilation system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of the air supply location on the design and performance of the displacement ventilation (DV) system in terms of thermal comfort and indoor air quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal comfort of patients: Objective and subjective measurements in patient rooms of a Belgian healthcare facility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the thermal comfort of patients by comparing objective (environmental and personal) parameters and subjective measurements (questionnaires) of thermal comfort for different groups of patients, according to the ward they are occupied in.

Investigation of comfort temperature, adaptive model and the window-opening behaviour in Japanese houses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between indoor and outdoor temperatures and window-opening behaviors in Japanese homes and found that window opening behaviors were related to both indoor or outdoor air temperatures, and the strength of this relationship justified the adoption of the adaptive model for both prediction and design of control strategies for the provision of indoor comfort.
