“…The environmental parameters are indoor air temperature (Adunola, 2014;Zhang et al, 2017a;Cao and Deng, 2019;Jiang et al, 2021), radiant temperature (Saber et al, 2014b), relative humidity (Marincic, Ochoa and Del Río, 2012;Jing et al, 2013;Vellei et al, 2017;S. Yang et al, 2018b;Kong et al, 2019;Kwag et al, 2019;Deng and Chen, 2021;Zuo, Luo and Liu, 2021) and air velocity (Kalmár, 2018;Van Craenendonck et al, 2019;Sansaniwal et al, 2020). At the same time, the personall parameters are personal activity and clothing insulation levels (Chen, Moshfegh and Cehlin, 2013;Wang, Tian and Ding, 2013;Kwang Ho Lee and Schiavo, 2014;Song, Wang and Wei, 2016;Gautam et al, 2019;Wang, Kang and Zhou, 2019;Kim, Shin and Cho, 2021;Rupp, Kazanci and Toftum, 2021).…”

Thermal Comfort in Buildings: Scientometric Analysis and Systematic Review

The building sector is one of the most resource-exhausting areas in global energy consumption. Maintaining good thermal comfort for occupants is the leading energy demand in buildings. The primary purpose of the current study is to identify the development of research areas on occupant comfort, pinpoint the gaps in knowledge and recommend directions for future studies. A scientometric analysis and a comprehensive systematic literature review are conducted using 792 sources. It is evident from the exponential increase in published papers that scholars are highly interested in this research topic. However, discrepancies remain between the two fundamental models of evaluating thermal comfort. There is a pressing need to balance thermal comfort while increasing energy efficiency. The foundation of achieving this balance can only be done by correctly evaluating the surrounding environment of occupants and understanding all the factors influencing human thermal comfort conditions. There is also a high potential in employing industry 4.0 technologies to assist in designing more innovative solutions for thermal comfort. Furthermore, there is a need for local thermal standards targeting specific regions. The lack of interoperability between BIM 3D modelling and energy simulation tools remains an obstacle.

“…Ensuring thermal comfort and an ideal thermal environment is one of the most important prerequisites for an ideal and smooth work. The most well-known and widely used method for describing thermal comfort is the PMV-PPD model [3], which describes thermal comfort based on six parameters: air temperature, air humidity, air velocity, mean radiant temperature, human activity and thermal insulation of clothing [3][4][5]. The PMV model is complemented by local discomfort factors.…”

A new method for evaluating the joint effect of draught and the hot ceiling

For buildings with ceiling heating and mechanical ventilation, it is extremely important to know the combined effect of the draught and the radiant thermal asymmetry caused by a warm ceiling. There is plenty of literature offering separate descriptions of the dissatisfaction caused by draught and warm ceilings, but research on the combined effect of these two local discomfort factors is incomplete. In order to fill in this gap, human subject measurements were conducted involving 20 subjects, 10 men and 10 women, who were asked to complete questionnaires on thermal sensation, while being exposed to a random combination of 5 asymmetries and 2 draughts. Analyzing the results obtained this way made it possible to evaluate the combined effect of the draught and radiant thermal asymmetry on thermal comfort. The most important outcome of the research is the mathematical description of the expected dissatisfaction rate and the presentation of the differences depending on gender.
