Neutral thermal sensation or dynamic thermal comfort? Numerical and field test analysis of a thermal chair (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shahzad, S., Calautit, J. K., Aquino, A. I., Nasir, D. S., & Hughes, B. R. Neutral thermal sensation or dynamic thermal comfort? Numerical and field test analysis of a thermal chair. Presented at 9th International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE 2017), Cardiff, UK

Neutral thermal sensation is considered as the measure of thermal comfort in research, as when participants report feeling neutral regarding the thermal environment, they are considered as thermally comfortable. This is taken for granted, and althoug... Read More about Neutral thermal sensation or dynamic thermal comfort? Numerical and field test analysis of a thermal chair.

Computational and Field Test Analysis of Thermal Comfort Performance of User-controlled Thermal Department in an Open Plan Office (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shahzad, S., Hughes, B., Calautit, J. K., & Nasir, D. S. Computational and Field Test Analysis of Thermal Comfort Performance of User-controlled Thermal Department in an Open Plan Office

In this study, a thermal Department prototype was developed that allowed personal control over the temperature settings of the back-rest and the seat. Limited research focuses on different methods to provide individual user control over the thermal e...

Thermal Comfort and Indoor air Quality Analysis of a Low-energy Cooling Windcatcher (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Calautit, J. K., Aquino, A. I., Shahzad, S., Nasir, D. S., & Hughes, B. R. Thermal Comfort and Indoor air Quality Analysis of a Low-energy Cooling Windcatcher

The aim of this work was to investigate the performance of a roof-mounted cooling windcatcher integrated with heat pipes using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and field test analysis. The windcatcher model was incorporated to a 5m x 5m x3 m test r... Read More about Thermal Comfort and Indoor air Quality Analysis of a Low-energy Cooling Windcatcher.

Effect of Urban Street Canyon Aspect Ratio on Thermal Performance of Road Pavement Solar Collectors (RPSC) (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nasir, D. S., Hughes, B. R., Calautit, J. K., Aquino, A. I., & Shahzad, S. Effect of Urban Street Canyon Aspect Ratio on Thermal Performance of Road Pavement Solar Collectors (RPSC)

Studies on RPSC (road pavement solar collectors) have shown the potential of reducing the urban heat island effect by dissipating the heat from the pavement for energy harness. In our previous work, performance analysis of RPSC system was carried out... Read More about Effect of Urban Street Canyon Aspect Ratio on Thermal Performance of Road Pavement Solar Collectors (RPSC).
