Individualization of Thermal Comfort of Building Occupants

Project Description

Thermal comfort of building occupants is always a major criterion in evaluating the performance of building systems and a dominant factor in designing and optimizing building operation. This project aims at developing a novel wearable device that is able to provide real-time, unobtrusive, and location-specific thermal comfort assessment of building occupants through their vital and physiological data and then integrate directly with building operating systems to dynamically bring the building into its most comfortable condition for every individual.
