The increasing number of motorized vehicles in Jakarta is causing environmental damage and can harm human health. In recent years, the Jakarta local government has the vision to focus on improving the human mobility network, including the pedestrian networks. As a heavily trafficked road, Jalan Kyai Tapa, West Jakarta, is used by many people. However, it may feel uncomfortable to walk there due to heat and sun exposure, which is compounded by extensive pavement coverage. The thermal condition of the pedestrian corridor is essential to create a comfortable walking experience. The objective of this study was to analyze the thermal …

Optimized Indoor Temperature In Office Buildings Through Personalized Thermal Comfort Modeling, Raviteja Patchava
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Building occupants experience varying thermal comforts at static indoor set-point temperatures due to variances in preferences, needs, and activities, both within and among individuals. Despite advancement in smart building control systems, many building occupants remain dissatisfied with indoor temperatures. This study developed and created an optimization model to predict the optimized indoor temperature preferences in multiple-occupancy settings. To achieve this, personalized thermal comfort models for each occupant in a multiple occupancy space were developed. The personal comfort models serve as the foundation for predicting their individual thermal preference and developing indoor temperature optimization model. When predicting the individual thermal preference, …

Assessing The Spatio-Temporal Behaviours Of Incomplete Surface Temperatures Using Thermal Remote Sensing And Gis, Derrick Kessie
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This study aimed to better understand the spatiotemporal behaviors of "incomplete" surface temperatures, a subset of all the active surfaces in urban areas, that are relevant for outdoor thermal comfort assessments. This study answered the following questions: 1. What is the temperature of "incomplete surfaces" that are most relevant in urban thermal comfort assessments, and what is its spatiotemporal behavior in different urban neighborhoods? 2. How are the relevant incomplete temperatures related to nadir view remotely sensed surface temperatures (Tplan)? By combining distributions of wall temperatures from TUF-3D, an urban energy balance model, and horizontal surface temperatures from airborne remotely …

Globally, a large proportion of a building's energy is consumed to achieve thermal comfort, as promoting energy efficiency and environmental sustainability of buildings is an important global goal. Therefore, the new building regulations are geared explicitly toward energy-saving projects. However, there are usually many competitive priorities, such as maximizing energy use in office buildings, leading to the complex multi-objective optimization topic. The main objective of this research was to reduce the energy consumed for cooling load in the office buildings in the city of Cairo, which is located in a hot desert climate. This was achieved by optimizing ten different …

Two-Stage Distributed Robust Optimal Dispatching For A Combined Heat And Power Virtual Power Plant, Yaqian Fan, Songyuan Yu, Fang Fang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Combined heat and power virtual power plant (CHP-VPP) aggregates various electrical and thermal output units and takes into account the uncertainty of wind and solar output, dynamic electricity prices, thermal comfort of users, and other influences to achieve optimal dispatching of overall output. A two-stage distributed robust optimal dispatching method is proposed. In the first stage, planned dispatching is considered, so as to maximize the benefit of CHP-VPP. In the second stage, a fuzzy set of wind and solar output uncertainties is constructed based on the distributed robust method of moment uncertainty, and …

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)
One of the most important challenges facing the world is the application of modern technology in order to create smart buildings that achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). Thermal comfort and reduction of energy consumption in buildings are considered important factors which, in turn, are reflected in creating a healthy environment and improving human productivity. Internet of Things (IoT) provides an ideal solution for collecting real-time data on the factors affecting indoor thermal comfort and energy consumption. However, comfort level is subjective and depends on many factors, which may not be learned by conventional models, an integrated model depending on thermal …

Effects Of A Head-Cooling Cap On 5-Km Running Performance In The Heat, Bernhard J. Spannagl, Mark Et Willems, Andrew T. West
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(6): 193-204, 2023. Cooling the head region during exercise can enhance running performance, but this observation is limited to intermittent cooling. This study investigated the effects of continuous head cooling on 5-km running time-trial (TT) performance in hot conditions. Six male and four female triathletes completed two experimental sessions consisting of two 10-minute runs at 50% and 70% O2max followed by a 5-km TT in the heat (32.0±0.3 °C, 50.1±1.2% RH). In a randomized crossover design, either an ice-filled cooling cap or no cooling cap was provided prior to the 10-minute run at 70%O …
