Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice

Addressing the pressing challenge of designing comfortable buildings in a climate of dwindling fossil fuels, this book offers an innovative approach to adaptive thermal comfort. It clearly outlines the principles behind this theory, emphasizing the interplay between our bodies, minds, and building systems in response to changing conditions. Divided into two sections, it first introduces the foundational principles and then guides readers on conducting field studies to measure thermal comfort in real-world scenarios.
