Using results from field surveys to predict the effect of open windows on thermal comfort and energy use in buildings
Hom Bahadur Rijal,Paul Gerard Tuohy,Michael Humphreys,J.F. Nicol,Aizaz Samuel,Joseph Andrew Clarke +5 more
TL;DR: The research uses results from field surveys to formulate a method for simulation of office buildings to include the effects of window opening behaviour on comfort and energy use and finds that the proportion of windows open depends on indoor and outdoor conditions.

Development of an adaptive window-opening algorithm to predict the thermal comfort, energy use and overheating in buildings
Hom Bahadur Rijal,Paul Gerard Tuohy,J. Fergus Nicol,Michael Humphreys,Aizaz Samuel,Joseph Andrew Clarke +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how people control the indoor environment by opening windows, the cooling potential of opening windows and the use of an adaptive algorithm for predicting window-opening behavior for thermal simulation in ESP-r.

TL;DR: In this article, a year-round field investigation of the use of building controls (windows, doors and fans) in 33 Pakistani offices and commercial buildings focuses on how occupants' behavior is related to thermal comfort, how people modify the indoor environment and how we can predict the occupants' behaviour.

A modelling tool selection process for planning of community scale energy systems including storage and demand side management
TL;DR: A process to be used to make a stepwise tool selection process consisting of a tool capability categorisation, and findings including gaps to be addressed and future trends in modelling of such systems are highlighted.

Twentieth century standards for thermal comfort: Promoting high energy buildings
TL;DR: The urgent need to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a bid to meet increasingly stringent GHG targets has focused the attention of scientists on the built environment as discussed by the authors.
