Despite increasing attention to rising land surface temperatures (LSTs) and other climate
changes caused by urbanization, few studies have considered the characteristics of LST or …

Compared with the static thermal comfort models like predicted mean vote (PMV) model,
adaptive thermal models have a wider range of adaptability. The traditional concept of …

The predicted mean vote (PMV) and its several revised models are widely used for the
prediction of thermal comfort. This study aims to assess their performances using the …

Abstract Machine learning models have been widely used for studying thermal sensations.
However, the black‐box properties of machine learning models lead to the lack of model …

Integrating radiative sky cooling materials into buildings as a super-cool roof strategy can be
one of the most direct pathways to implement this passive cooling technology. Accordingly …

Radiative sky cooling, which utilizes outer space as the cooling source for heat dissipation,
is attracting global interests for its ability to cool passively without using any energy …

Global climate change has led to increased differences in the indoor thermal environment of
traditional dwellings and residents' thermal adaptability, but quantitative research in this …

Building air condition and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) systems which provide cooling
operations suffers from the balance between thermal comfort (TC) and energy consumption …

Multi-dimensional performance optimization of buildings is crucial to achieving comfort and
realizing green and sustainable development. This study developed a multi-performance …

The PMV index forms the basis of international thermal comfort standards. PMV was
developed based on empirical relationships between the metabolic rate of activity and the …
