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.

Implementation of combined geolocation database and infrastructure sensing in TV bands using different spectrum devices (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
