Analysing Operative Comfort Temperature Ranges of Mediterranean Climate Adaptive Models Using Fuzzy Logic
摘要
This study promotes the establishment of an optimal indoor temperature range in tertiary buildings, aiming to improve the health and productivity of occupants while reducing energy consumption in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. It suggests a review of literature on indoor adaptive thermal comfort models of Mediterranean climates. The main objective of this research is to address the inherent variability of individual adaptive comfort models in order to determine the ideal environmental conditions for building occupants in this climate. To do this a fuzzy logic based is applied to understanding different capacities of examined models.
