This study assesses the impacts of urban configurations on thermal perceptions in Flat Bandar Tasik Selatan (FBTS) and Surya Magna (SM) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It aims to understand outdoor spaces. The addresses following research questions: (1) Do influence comfort? (2) also have significant perceptions? We mapped out sites their configurations. considered on-site measurements environmental co...

To help making comfortable workplaces and to prevent health disorders induced by the exposure to moderate cold in two different groups of out-door workers, we conducted a survey to compare subjective symptoms and cold prevention measures in winter between traffic control workers and construction workers. The subjects of this study were 98 male traffic control workers and 149 male workers engage...

Uncontrolled solar radiation and the related effects on occupant productivity can lead to considerable indoor thermal discomfort in office environments. In this paper, Radiance Daylight Coefficient (DC) method is used assess incoming consequent through delta mean radiant temperature (ΔMRT). The ΔMRT allows expressing an adjusted predicted vote (Adjusted PMV). Under conditions of direct radiatio...

A meta-analysis to mathematically summarize the eVect of hot and cold temperature exposure on performance was completed. The results from 515 eVect sizes calculated from 22 original studies suggest that hot and cold temperatures negatively impact performance on a wide range of cognitive-related tasks. More speci®cally, hot temperatures of 908F (32.228C) Web Bulb Globe Temperature Index or above...

Intensive agriculture and irrigation play a crucial role in the food security of India. However, has considerably impacted regional climate groundwater sustainability. Notwithstanding profound implications on dry moist heat depletion, efficient stress reduction water savings remains unexplored. Here, we use observations simulations from Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model to examine impact...

Under simplifying conditions catchment-scale vapor pressure at the drying land surface can be calculated as a function of its watershed-representative temperature () by the wet-surface equation (WSE, similar to the wet-bulb equation in meteorology for calculating the dry-bulb thermometer vapor pressure) of the Complementary Relationship of evaporation. The corresponding watershed ET rate, <...

The use of boiler wood-fired is fairly common equipment utilized in steam generation for energy production in small industries. The boiler activities are considered dangerous and heavy, mainly due to risks of explosions and the lack of mechanization of the process. This study assessed the burden of physical labor that operators of boilers are subjected during the workday. Assessment of these co...
