Abstract:
This paper presents the findings of a thermal comfort survey conducted in a tropical green office building. The building was installed with a slab-integrated radiant cooling system, which operated concurrently with an integrated variable-air-volume system. Evaluation of indoor thermal environment was made, where both objective and subjective assessments were carried out. The air temperature, air velocity, relative humidity and surface temperatures were measured by using calibrated sensors. Based on the data collected from the field assessment, the thermal comforts indices with expectancy facto

Abstract:
Urban parks are an important component of urban public green space and a public place where a large number of urban residents choose to conduct outdoor activities. An important factor attracting people to visit and stay in urban parks is its outdoor thermal comfort, which is also an important criterion for evaluating the liability of the urban environment. In this study, through field meteorological monitoring and a questionnaire survey, outdoor thermal comfort of different types of landscape space in urban parks in Chengdu, China was studied in winter and summer.

Abstract:
Urban outdoor space has a very important impact on the quality of people’s outdoor activities, which has influenced people’s health and moods. Its influence is the result of the combined action of various factors. Thermal and air quality environment are important factors affecting the overall comfort of the urban outdoor space. At present, there are few research on interaction with thermal and air quality environment. Therefore, a meteorological measurement and questionnaire survey have been conducted in a representative open space in a campus in Xi’an, China. The following are the research re

Abstract:
This paper presents a new formulation for analyzing a beam on elastic supports traveling on irregular profiles. The model is a first approximation of a passenger railway vehicle car body. The main difference with previous works is the use of a complex modulus to represent structural damping rather than relying on equivalent viscous terms. The formulation groups rigid body modes with flexible modes and proposes a matrix form that is easy to interpret and solve in the frequency domain. Comfort indexes are readily obtained from weighted response spectral densities. The model is used to assess the

Abstract:
In recent years, the adaptive model of thermal comfort has gained traction as a more robust alternative to fixed set-point-driven design, which considers various factors that impact human comfort, such as humidity, air velocity, mean radiant temperature, and ambient temperature. Nonetheless, it is crucial to recognize the limitations of such models and the potential for discomfort and stress. This research employs simulations to systematically evaluate WBGT as a parameter to measure heat stress in residential buildings in Bhubaneshwar, India, comparing ventilation scenarios.

Abstract:
Comfort experiences are not caused by a single factor, but are the result of diverse components such as postures, cognitive- and emotional experiences, as well as a person’s activity. The present empirical study investigated the experienced comfort of car passengers in the rear seat. We varied typical car passengers’ activities such as listening to music, working, and looking out the window. Dependent variables were the passenger’s comfort rating, his emotional valence- and arousal-related experience, his heart rate, and his seating position. The results (N = 23/16) showed that music positivel

Abstract:
The use of air conditioning systems for comfort and space cooling is a major driving factor for the rising energy demand, currently accounting for nearly 10% of all the global electricity consumption today, and expected to be tripled by 2050. Direct evaporative cooling systems are an energy-efficient alternative to conventional air conditioning systems. The evaporative coolers offer a significant reduction in indoor air temperature while maintaining a desirable indoor air quality. However, maintaining indoor relative humidity levels in a comfortable range is a challenge with evaporative coolin

The shifting climate of urban spaces impacts Outdoor thermal comfort (OTC), thus human behaviour and accessibility to outdoor spaces. Central Business District (CBD), located in the centre of a growing metro city, Ahmedabad, in a hot and dry climate, is the case study site.

Abstract:
As new energy vehicles become increasingly prevalent, cockpit comfort has emerged as a key factor in user experience. This study identifies and categorizes comfort-related factors into four main domains—acoustic, lighting, thermal, and human-computer interaction—based on literature review and user interviews, with 16 specific sub-factors. By applying subjective evaluation and entropy weighting methods, the relative importance of each factor is quantified. Results highlight the human-computer interaction environment, particularly voice interaction, as the most influential factor. Accordingly, t

Abstract:
The study of comfort levels considers the factors that affect the balance between the body and its environment in buildings in order to ensure that these living spaces -in this case, classrooms- fall within what are referred to as "comfort zones", or in some cases, "life zones". There is a need to provide a suitable design that can provide the parameters and elements with which to generate concrete solutions.

Abstract:
One of the factors that affects energy consumption in buildings is the level of control that occupants have over their environment, as well as their adaptive behaviour. The aim of this study was to focus on the adaptive clothing behaviour pattern, and to analyse its impact on energy consumption when integrated into a dynamic energy prediction tool. A questionnaire survey was conducted in an office building to collect the occupant behaviour data. The occupant clothing levels and the window opening behaviour were integrated into the dynamic energy performance prediction software, IDA ICE. The re

Abstract:
Building energy and environmental efficiency is presently one of the most important research subjects due to global climate change and the actual geopolitical situation. Residential buildings should provide a comfortable environment for the occupants while they spend up to 90% of their life indoors. Moreover, a comfortable indoor environment should be provided efficiently and affordably. Thus, the examination of the correlated factors of buildings' energy efficiency and occupants' comfort is highly anticipated.
