Microclimate Conditions and Space Use Variations

This paper is a part of study about the impact of the microclimate on the space use and the user’s behaviours. The purpose of our study is to get an in-depth understanding of how people use out door public spaces in different climatic conditions, how their behaviour and perception of the space change with the climatic variations. We have employed a multi-method approach which combines a “qualit...

Indoor Positioning and Pre-processing of RSS Measurements

Rapid expansions of new location-based services signify the need for finding accurate localization techniques for indoor environments. Among different techniques, RSS-based  schemes and in particular oneof its variants which is based on Graph-based Semi-Supervised Learning (G-SSL) are widely-used approaches The superiority of this scheme is that it has low setup/training cost and at the same ti...

Engrained experience—a comparison of microclimate perception schemata and microclimate measurements in Dutch urban squares

Acceptance of public spaces is often guided by perceptual schemata. Such schemata also seem to play a role in thermal comfort and microclimate experience. For climate-responsive design with a focus on thermal comfort it is important to acquire knowledge about these schemata. For this purpose, perceived and "real" microclimate situations were compared for three Dutch urban squares. People were a...

Experimental Measurements of Capacity for MIMO Indoor Wireless Channels

Abstmct This paper presents the results of experiments obtained wi th a narrowband, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel probe in an indoor ofAce/laboratory environment. T h e system employs ten transmit and ten receive antennas, and computes the 10 x 10 narrowband channel matrix at 2.4 GHz every 80 milliseconds. We use the data to s tudy the distribution of the channel coefflcients, t...
