Thermal comfort and workplace occupant satisfaction—Results of field studies in German low energy office buildings (2007, background): “Keywords: Thermal comfort; Thermal sensation; Occupant satisfaction; Satisfaction parameters; Post occupancy evaluation”
Challenging the assumptions for thermal sensation scales (2017, background): “This is of particular importance as data derived from TSVs is further processed to calculate the neutral comfort temperature (cf., Nicol and Humphreys, 2002, Griffiths, 1990 and Schweiker et al., 2012 for a discussion about this method).”

Group MAD Competition? A New Methodology to Compare Objective Image Quality Models (2016, background): “To give a few examples, these may include comparisons of image/video interestingness predictors in the field of cognitive vision [8], the relative attributes (sportiness, furriness) estimators in the field of sematic image search [11], machine translation quality estimators in the field of computati”
Building evaluation: practice and principles (2010, background): “However, buildings are profoundly adapted to context (Nicol and Humphreys, 2002), so, for example, buildings in colder countries tend to be better insulated.”
Field Studies of Indoor Thermal Comfort and the Progress of the Adaptive Approach (2007, background): “It seems that the best weighting is about 0.8 of the running mean and 0.2 of the new day’s mean (see, for example, McCartney and Nicol, 2001; Nicol and Humphreys, 2002), thus: Trm(new day) = 0.8Trm(previous day)+0.2Tmean(new day) (5) Conclusions on the relation between indoor comfort and outdoor…”
Perceived control in indoor environments: a conceptual approach (2015, background): “There are models explaining thermal adaptation (e.g. de Dear, Brager, & Cooper, 1997) or the impact of perceived control on thermal comfort (e.g. Nicol & Humphreys, 2002; Paciuk, 1990).”
