Individual comfort varies from person to person, and the year-long partnership resulted in the development of new and improved software solutions that can accurately predict an individual’s ...

An ASHRAE grant program is funding the creation of a database to help better understand human thermal comfort in residential and commercial buildings. The grants, totaling $180,000, are awarded to ...

Human thermal comfort and exergy analysis represent an emerging interdisciplinary field that bridges human physiology, thermodynamics and sustainable architecture. By applying principles from the ...

MSc Riikka Holopainen from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, has written a doctoral thesis on a new method for estimating the actual level of human thermal comfort in low-energy buildings ...

The new method developed for assessing thermal comfort (Human Thermal Model, HTM) is based on modelling of individual anatomy and physiology. The method can be used to assess the impact of ...

Shade, within the context of outdoor thermal comfort, provides two important benefits: it blocks solar radiation to the human body and reduces solar gains on exterior surfaces, which would otherwise ...

Heaters, ventilation, and air conditioners are essential to ensure a building’s occupants feel neither too warm nor too cold, but the impact of spatial parameters on personal thermal comfort has ...

Post this “When we learned CAYNOVA was going to transfer seat thermal comfort technology into aviation back in 2018, we were so intrigued.

And although the human body has temperature regulation mechanisms, such as sweating and vasodilation, sometimes we need additional help to achieve thermal comfort.

Indoor environments that are too hot, too cold or draughty create discomfort and lower human productivity. A new method for estimating the actual level of human thermal comfort in low-energy ...

Creation of a database to help better understand human thermal comfort in residential and commercial buildings is being funded through an ASHRAE grant program.
