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:

The color comfort degree is the fundamental principle of the color design in industrial environment. Based on the fuzzy synthetic evaluation model in fuzzy mathematics, the new model uses analytic hierarchy process to constitute a factor set which will affect the assessing of the colour comfort degree, and analyses the existing research data and applies the grey system theory when the data of some factors are insufficient, to quantify the weight and set up the change curve of the factors. By fuzzy evaluating the comfort degree of each factor with the data on the curve, the new model reduces th

Background/Objectives: This study assessed teacher comfort in supporting the medical management of children with asthma in elementary and middle schools in two southern states in the U.S. Teacher comfort in asthma management is a largely underexplored area yet holds promise to support medical management in schools. Methods: Using survey methods, data were gathered from a random sample of teachers in two southern U.S. states (n = 574). Data from the Teacher Capability and School Resource Scale for Asthma Management scale were used to assess teacher comfort and capability in managing stressful a

Abstract:

In view of the evaluation and decision-making problem of human-machine interface layout design for cabin, the operating comfort prediction model is proposed based on GEP (Gene Expression Programming), using operating comfort to evaluate layout scheme. Through joint angles to describe operating posture of upper limb, the joint angles are taken as independent variables to establish the comfort model of operating posture. Factor analysis is adopted to decrease the variable dimension; the model’s input variables are reduced from 16 joint angles to 4 comfort impact factors, and the output variable

With the continuous deepening of the global aging process, more and more users demand wheelchair. In the interaction between users and wheelchairs, comfort is a crucial factor. In order to provide a set of effective evaluation of wheelchair comfort, this study makes use of the back propagation neural network (BPNN) and analyzes the body pressure index by combining with the subjective evaluation in the wheelchair comfort evaluation. As shown by results, the neural network simulation values and 13 groups of wheelchair comfort levels have been obtained from the analysis of the BPNN on the wheelch

Color and light are the main factors in the car manufacturing industry, with not much research, conducted on this topic, related to employee physical comfort. The factor affecting employee work comfort is the color factor and lighting time in their workplace environment. Color is the light, reflected by an object, then interpreted by the eye based on the light that hits the object. The value of the color wavelength in the spectrum of 380 nm to780 nm impacts worker performance. Good lighting will affect whether or not the room’s light conditions affect the illumination’s value.

A comfort analysis for the building at a metro depot is presented in this paper with FEA method. First, the dynamic analysis for the whole building structure is performed and the acceleration response of each floor is calculated and compared with the civil codes, based on which the structural comfort is estimated. And then, the major factor resulting in the comfort problem of shear-wall buildings is obtained by frequency domain analysis and it is the summation of mode participating coefficients according to the peak-amplitude frequency-range of vibration source.

In recent decades, urban planners have endeavoured to mitigate climate change, by adaptation programs in order to alleviate its adverse effects on human health and wellbeing. Outdoor thermal comfort as an environmental factor affects human health, as proven by various research studies conducted in different climates. The aim of this paper is to explore the components of urban heat island, outdoor thermal comfort, and urban form. The relationship between these keywords and variables that affect outdoor thermal comfort was also analysed. The research method is descriptive-analytical and besides
