  • 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.

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.

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
