Moreover, it illuminates the most important techniques and methodologies of Nubian village planning and construction and how these ways could achieve maximum passive cooling, thermal comfort, least energy consumption and finally the sustainable development required in the 21st century.
The cases with the maximum benefit and maximum consequences in terms of thermal comfort in the bedroom are identified.
The results are helpful for designing system capacity in different type of cooling loads and show maximum system capacity in acceptable thermal comfort condition.
Finally, the regression analysis method is used to establish the correlation between human thermal sensation and thermal environment indices of the Lingnan Garden outdoor spaces and to obtain the thermal neutral temperature and the maximum temperature of PET, thus the outdoor thermal comfort evaluation model of Lingnan Garden is preliminarily established.
This study proposes a Bayesian approach to update our current beliefs about thermal comfort and shows that the maximum likelihood of posterior estimates is close to the actual percentage dissatisfied (APD) obtained from large sample field surveys.
It was concluded that the use of cool non-aged asphalt can reduce the ambient temperature by up to 1.5 °C and the maximum surface temperature reduction could reach 11.5 °C, while the thermal comfort conditions can improve considerably.
Control of maximum relative humidity in a space is important for both thermal comfort and indoor air quality (particularly with respect to mold/mildew development).
Compared with the PMV, the maximum deviation can be decreased by 79.5% with the CPMV method in evaluating the thermal comfort of solar conditions.
An additional matrix that includes data on forecast maximum indoor air temperature is developed for the case of the free cooling system being unable to fulfil pre-set thermal comfort requirements.
