The development of 'age-friendly cities' has become a major area of work in the field of
ageing and the built environment. This movement is driven by the observation that cities are …

Personal comfort models have shown to predict specific thermal comfort requirements more
accurately than aggregate models, increasing occupant acceptability and associated energy …

Well-being in the built environment is a topic that features frequently in building standards
and certification schemes, in scholarly articles and in the general press. However, despite …

Human individual differences widely and markedly affect thermal comfort and should be
carefully considered in the design and operation of the built environment. This paper aims to …

The well-being of the elderly is critical in today's aging society. However, the age difference
in thermal comfort in buildings with unstable thermal environments is poorly understood. In …

A personal comfort model is a new approach to thermal comfort modeling that predicts an
individual's thermal comfort response, instead of the average response of a large …

The rapid escalation of cooling demand in buildings set against the backdrop of a global
climate emergency is intensifying research activity on adaptive thermal comfort. In this …

Indoor thermal comfort plays a crucial role in human health, productivity, and energy
consumption. Traditional thermal comfort surveys rely on subjective feedback from …

We investigated the relationship between variation in EEG signal characteristics (α, β, θ and
δ frequency bands) of elderly adults and their thermal perceptions in outdoor environments …

Buildings' energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are a major global concern.
Healthcare buildings, being crucial to society, pose particular challenges due to their round …
