Abstract: Existing heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems have difficulties in considering occupants’ dynamic thermal needs, thus resulting in overheating or overcooling with huge energy waste. This situation emphasizes the importance of occupant-oriented microclimate control where dynamic… read more here.
