Towards life cycle sustainability assessent of cities. A review of background knowledge.
TL;DR: It is concluded that current sustainability assessment tools miss, at least, one of these aspects: holistic point of view, focus on various environmental impacts, a Life Cycle (LC) perspective, and the possibility to compare the results among different cities or urban regions.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the semantics of thermal comfort in terms of thermal sensation, acceptability, and preference, as a function of both indoor and outdoor temperature, as predicted by the adaptive hypothesis.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive hypothesis predicts that contextual factors and past thermal history modify building occupants' thermal expectations and preferences, which is contrary to static assumptions underlying the current ASHRAE comfort standard 55-92.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current methods and advances in forecasting of wind power generation
TL;DR: A review of the current methods and advances in wind power forecasting and prediction can be found in this article, where numerical wind power prediction methods from global to local scales, ensemble forecasting, upscaling and downscaling processes are discussed.
