Modeling Thermal Comfort in Stratified Environments
Some HVAC systems save energy by creating stratified air temperature distributions in which the occupied lower regions are cooler and the upper regions warmer. Comfort standards prescribe a 3°C limit to vertical stratification, independent of where the mean temperature is relative to the comfort zone. This paper evaluates thermal comfort in stratified environments using a model developed to pre...
متن کاملBook Review: 'Health Humanities and Applied Literature'
Health Humanities written by Paul Crawford, Brian Brown, Charley Baker, Victoria Tischler, and Brian Adams was first published in 2015 by Palgrave Macmillan, UK. The book is a result of many years of experience of work in the field and comes at a right time after the successful organisation of some international conferences on health humanities by Professor Paul Crawford, et al. in the precedin...
متن کاملRadiative environments and thermal comfort in temperate climate
2014 The concept of dwelling is connected with the thermal comfort problem. Radiatively out of balance volumes may agree physiologically and psychologically with the ideal preferred comfort. Nevertheless taking into account vertical and horizontal gradients is a necessity, as well as other parameters of influence like air temperature, air velocity, hygrometry, activity and clothing. The mean ra...
متن کاملThermal comfort assessment in comfort-prone workplaces.
This paper's main issue is a strong advocacy in favour of an a priori classification of thermal environments that can be really functional to comfort assessment: Class 1, environments where comfort conditions can be established (comfort-prone environments), and Class 2, environments where this is not practically feasible. The former, which are also identified here as 'thermally unconstrained' e...
متن کاملEcosystem Biomimicry: A way to achieve thermal comfort in architecture
The strategies to reduce the consumption of non-renewable energies in buildings are becoming increasingly important. In the meantime, nature-inspired approaches have emerged as a new strategy to achieve thermal comfort in the interiors. However, the use of these approaches in architecture and buildings requires a proper understanding regarding the features of ecosystems. Although acquiring this...
