Craving daylight indoors – more than meets the eye
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. If we ...
2023Daylightful indoors – what we see and what we perceive
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. This l ...
2023Thermal Conditions in Indoor Environments: Exploring the Reasoning behind Standard-Based Recommendations
Professionals in the building design and operation fields typically look at standards and guidelines as a reliable source of information and guidance with regard to procedural, contractual, and legal scope and requirements that are relevant to accountabili ...
2023DeepValve: Development and experimental testing of a Reinforcement Learning control framework for occupant-centric heating in offices
Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari
Space heating controls in offices usually follow static schedules detached from actual occupancy, which results in energy waste by unnecessarily heating vacant offices. The uniqueness of stochastic occupancy profile and thermal response time of each office ...
2023Daylightful dynamics and indoor well-being
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. If we ...
2023Efficacy of temporal and spatial abstraction for training accurate machine learning models: A case study in smart thermostats
Rachid Guerraoui, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Omid Ardakanian
Smart thermostats are increasingly popular in homes and buildings as they improve occupant comfort, lower energy use in heating and cooling systems, and reduce utility bills by automatically adjusting room temperature according to measurements of their bui ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023Resolving indoor shortwave and longwave human body irradiance variations for mean radiant temperature and local thermal comfort
Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee, Mohamad Rida
A spatially and directionally resolved longwave and shortwave radiant heat transfer model is presented via a series of experiments in a thermal lab to input surface temperatures and geometries, as well as skin temperature readings from a human subject, in ...
2023Human needs vs. modern living expectations: a case for daylight access
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. If we ...
2023Human sitting behavior at office work and its effect on metabolic rate under varying thermal exposure
Assessing and optimizing human indoor comfort is challenging as physiological, psychological, and environmental variables influence it. Therefore, it is crucial to understand variability of human physiological parameters and underlying mechanisms. Metaboli ...
2023Modeling local thermal responses of individuals: Validation of advanced human thermo-physiology models
Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohamad Rida
Human thermo-physiology models (HTPM) are useful tools to assess dynamic and non-uniform human thermal states. However, they are developed based on the physiological data of an average person. In this paper, we present a detailed evaluation of two sophisti ...
