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
