Goal – The goal of this project is to support the design of buildings that are more attuned with the local climate through a combination of climate adaptive design features and technologies, and operational enablers for occupants’ thermal adaptation.
Research Projects:
- Assessment of thermal comfort – applications, tools, and methods
- IEA-EBC Annex 69: Strategy and Practice of Adaptive Thermal Comfort in Low Energy Buildings
- Study of natural ventilation in a net-zero energy house
- Adaptive thermal comfort in mild and tropical hot-humid climates
- Thermal comfort in transitional, urban spaces
