A New Paradigm in Thermal Comfort for Occupant-Centric Environmental Control Joyce Kim1∗, Stefano Schiavon1, Gail Brager1
Personal comfort models – a new paradigm in thermal comfort for occupant-centric environmental control Joyce Kim1∗, Stefano Schiavon1, Gail Brager1 1 Center for the Built Environment, University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA ∗ Corresponding author: E-mail address: [email protected] Address: Center for the Built Environment (CBE) University of California, Berkeley 390 Wurster Hall #1839 Berkeley, CA 94720-1839 Abstract A personal comfort model is a new approach to thermal comfort modeling that predicts an individual’s thermal comfort response, instead of the average response of a large population. It leverages the Internet of Things and machine learning to learn individuals’ comfort requirements directly from the data collected in their everyday environment. Its results could be aggregated to predict comfort of a population. To provide guidance on future efforts in this emerging research area, this paper presents a unified framework for personal comfort models. We first define the problem by providing a brief discussion of existing thermal comfort models and their limitations for real-world applications, and then review the current state of research on personal comfort models including a summary of key advances and gaps. We then describe a modeling framework to establish fundamental concepts and methodologies for developing and evaluating personal comfort models, followed by a discussion of how such models can be integrated into indoor environmental controls. Lastly, we discuss the challenges and opportunities for applications of personal comfort models for building design, control, standards, and future research. Keywords: personal thermal comfort, data-driven modeling, machine learning, Internet of Things, occupant-centric environmental control, smart buildings 1. -

2011 Office Performance Commitment and Review Of
A. PERFORMANCE ASSESMENT FOR THE YEAR 2016 Employment Facilitation and Capacity Building Services Assisted 21,065 poor but deserving students to pursue their education through wages earned at the same time providing them exposure to the real world of work through the Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES). Accomplishment rate was computed at 121% percent, surpassing the 2017 target of 17,347. From the 7,711 SPES Babies in year 2015, a 59 percent increase equating to 12,251 babies were registered this year 2016 while 100 percent of the last year’s accomplishments were profiled and submitted to the BLE on June 13, 2016. Helped 1,436 youth-beneficiaries under the Government Internship Program (GIP), a Special Funded Project of the Department that enabled young graduates to obtain work experience in government service. This is 105 percent accomplishment of the 1,366 target for the year. Facilitated the placement of 236,597 qualified job applicants out of the 291,769 qualified jobseekers, achieving an 81 percent placement rate, a slight above the target of 80 percent. Conducted 8 capability trainings/orientations for PESO personnel on employment facilitation services and/or related trainings conducted. An astonishing 350 percent overshoot of the regional office’s annual target of 2, on the following: (1) Holiday Inn, Clakfield, Pampanga on February 15-17, 2016; (2) Tagaytay City by Pampanga Field Office on July 20-22, 2016; (3) Baler, Aurora on August 18, 2016; (4) Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija on August 24, 2016; (5) Clarkfield, Pampanga on August 30 to September 1, 2016; (6) Baliuag, Bulacan on September 16, 2016; (7) Palayan City, Nueva Ecija on November 8-10, 2016; and (8) Morong, Bataan on December 1-2, 2016. -
The Impact of a View from a Window on Thermal Comfort, Emotion, and Cognitive Performance
Building and Environment 175 (2020) 106779 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Building and Environment journal homepage: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/buildenv The impact of a view from a window on thermal comfort, emotion, and cognitive performance Won Hee Ko a,*, Stefano Schiavon a, Hui Zhang a, Lindsay T. Graham a, Gail Brager a, Iris Mauss b, Yu-Wen Lin c a Center for the Built Environment, University of California, Berkeley, USA b Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, USA c Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Visual connection to nature has been demonstrated to have a positive impact on attention restoration, stress Window reduction, and overall health and well-being. Inside buildings, windows are the primary means of providing a View connection to the outdoors, and nature views even through a window may have similar effects on the occupants. Thermal comfort Given that humans recognize environments through multi-sensory integration, a window view may also affect Emotion occupants’ thermal perception. We assessed the influence of having a window with a view on thermal and Cognitive performance Biophilic design emotional responses as well as on cognitive performance. We conducted a randomized crossover laboratory experiment with 86 participants, in spaces with and without windows. The chamber kept the air and window � surface temperature at 28 C, a slightly warm condition. The outcome measures consisted of subjective evalu ations (e.g., thermal perception, emotion), skin temperature measurements and cognitive performance tests. In the space with versus without windows, the thermal sensation was significantly cooler (0.3 thermal sensation � vote; equivalent to 0.74 C lower), and 12% more participants were thermally comfortable. -

Memory Reconsolidation, Emotional Arousal, and the Process of Change in Psychotherapy: New Insights from Brain Science

Lane Department of Psychiatry, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85724-5002 Departments of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 [email protected] Lee Ryan Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 [email protected] Lynn Nadel Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 [email protected] Leslie Greenberg Department of Psychology, York University, Toronto, Ontario M3J 1P3, Canada [email protected] Abstract: Since Freud, clinicians have understood that disturbing memories contribute to psychopathology and that new emotional experiences contribute to therapeutic change. Yet, controversy remains about what is truly essential to bring about psychotherapeutic change. Mounting evidence from empirical studies suggests that emotional arousal is a key ingredient in therapeutic change in many modalities. In addition, memory seems to play an important role but there is a lack of consensus on the role of understanding what happened in the past in bringing about therapeutic change. The core idea of this paper is that therapeutic change in a variety of modalities, including behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral
