• Tracking the human-building interaction: A longitudinal field study of occupant behavior in air-conditioned offices (2015, result): “This finding is consistent with results from previous studies showing female occupants to have significantly warmer “neutral and preferred” temperatures thanmales, implying an increased sensitivity to cooler conditions (see Beshir & Ramsey, 1981; Nakano, Tanabe, & Kimura, 2002; Parsons, 2002).”
• Saving Power to Conserve Your Reputation? The Effectiveness of Private versus Public Information (2012, unknown): “…which measures the potential need for heating or cooling with respect to a baseline temperature.13 We interact these degree days with a dummy for female, since research on thermal comfort has found that women are more sensitive to temperature changes than men (Parsons, 2002; Karjalainen, 2007).”
