Human thermal adaptability to coldness should be well considered in winter and a high thermal comfort zone should be avoided. If the thermal neutral temperature could be used instead of the current indoor air temperature for space heating, 3.4% and 12% heating energy would be saved, respectively...
The influence of shaded outdoor spaces on university students' thermal adaptability and cognitive performance is limited researched. The study aims at evaluating the effect of shaded outdoor spaces upon thermal comfort; and, linking such results upon university students' cognitive performance in a ...
It is important to create a favorable environment for various student activities and interactions by improving the thermal comfort of semi-outdoor spaces in teaching buildings. However, there has been limited research focusing on the thermal comfort leve
