Comfort criteria for passively cooled buildings a pascool task

Renewable Energy, 1994, vol. 5, issue 5, 977-984

Abstract: The application of passive cooling techniques to buildings in warm climates creates the need for appropriate comfort criteria. Conventional comfort criteria, usually based upon laboratory experiments, seem to be unnecessarily severe. The paper describes preliminary findings of the PASCOOL Thermal Comfort task which, responding to renewed interest in behavioural aspets of thermal comfort, sets out to establish appropriate limits by field studies and theoretical considerations.
