Adaptive thermal comfort computation with Zigbee wireless sensor networks
… we investigate Zigbee's application in computing thermal comfort in indoor environments as an extension of home automation systems. Maintenance of thermal comfort consumes a large majority of energy costs. In our home automation system we interfaced a Honeywell based humidity sensor. The Zigbee …

Adaptive thermal comfort and its application in mixed mode buildings: The case of a hot-summer and cold-winter climate in China
… one’s ability of adaptation is remarkable and thermal comfort is significantly related to such adaptations. This study proposes an alternative method of predicting adaptive thermal comfort based on the availability of adaptations, in particular behavioural adaptations, which needs …

Analysis and design for thermally autonomous housing in resource-constrained communities : a case study in Bhuj, India
… cooling. There is a need for housing to provide thermal comfort and health by passive means at low cost. Climate specific passive cooling techniques are well known, but are rarely implemented in informal settlements because of density, lack of resources, design integration, and materials …

Enriching Urban Thermal Experience: Thermal Pleasure Around Urban Public Places
Positive urban thermal experience depends on both the non-extremity and variability of thermal stress in the built environment. To date, the majority of outdoor thermal comfort research has proposed to mitigate thermal extremes while overlooking the contribution from the richness of thermal …

Understanding Thermal Conditions, Thermal Comfort and Adaptive Behaviours in Naturally Ventilated Multi-patient Wards in Connaught Hospital, Freetown, Sierra Leone
… by a better understanding of the links between thermal conditions, thermal comfort, and occupant adaptive behaviours? Natural ventilation remains the primary environmental mechanism for cooling and airborne infection control in hospitals among the poorest countries with the weakest public health …
