Existing research on thermal indoor environments has focused on thermal comfort under
tightly controlled temperature conditions. Office workers, who constitute a large segment of …

Personal comfort models (PCM) represent the most promising paradigm for human-centric
thermal comfort in buildings. Several data sources can be used to generate a PCM …

This paper focuses on how the existing sealed office typology can adapt to a warming world
while minimizing the high energy demand for space cooling, through Dynamic Cooling, by …

The acute thermal effects of artificial light during the daytime have the potential to promote
energy savings and enhance indoor comfort. Although the long-held hue-heat hypothesis …

The sun's total radiation alone exceeds the world population's entire energy consumption by
7.500 times and ignites secondary renewable energy sources. The end energy consumption …

Building operational energy alone accounts for 28% of global carbon emissions. A
sustainable building operation promises enormous savings, especially under the increasing …

Thermal comfort research lacks continuous data collection on thermoregulation and
adaptive behavior in real-world environments. This paper presents the findings of a field …

In the design of buildings with minimal environmental impact, the incorporation of higher
energy flexibility is becoming increasingly relevant. This approach is associated with …

Amid the climate change and the worldwide catastrophes, witnessed on a daily, we find
ourselves in a time in which we need to start justifying any recourse and energy …

This paper describes the analysis of electrodermal activity (EDA) in the context of students'
scholastic activity. Taking a multidisciplinary, citizen science and maker-centric approach …
