In addition, plastic or resin components forming an impermeable barrier too close to the body can hold in heat and moisture hereby reducing comfort.
In moderate climates, one promising approach to reduce the energy demand of office buildings for air conditioning without reducing comfort is passive cooling by night ventilation.
The paper analyzes the effects of vibrations on allowable vibration exposure time in intercity bus users for the criterion of reduced comfort according to the ISO 2631/1985 standard.
But if they were to run much faster than that, air turbulence quickly reduces comfort, says Sam Gurol, director of transportation programs at General Atomics in the United States, requiring tunnels with an evacuated tube to reduce the air resistance.
When one considers the limited patient contact time, reduced comfort with exercise prescription, and lack of adequate support materials that physicians have identified as barriers within their practice, it is possible that patients with OA of the knee will not receive adequate instruction from their physician regarding proper exercise performance.
Knee flexion contractures significantly alter the kinematics of walking and dramatically reduce the comfort and efficiency of ambulation.
The results show that nearly all binocular image asymmetries seriously reduce visual comfort if present in a large enough amount.
A sparse strategy for load shifting to reduce consumers' comfort has been developed in [21] using time-based demand response program.
HVAC energy savings have been a key focus of recent building energy management efforts, but the savings typically reduce thermal comfort for building occupants.
For mid-latitude cities, higher summer temperatures due to climate change are a cause for concern because they aggravate the urban heat island phenomenon and reduce thermal comfort inside buildings.
What is crucial to point out here is that the criteria and authority deciding on the optimal route are vital, as it may eventually mean that users will not have complete autonomy to select their travel route which may reduce their comfort and incentive to use autonomous cars.
