Personal comfort models – A new paradigm in thermal comfort for occupant-centric environmental control (2018, background): “…(e.g., home vs. office) [51,52]; culture (e.g., socio-economic status, dress code) [53–55]; health, mood, demographic attributes (e.g., sex, age) [56–58]; and thermal history (e.g., living/working in air-conditioned vs. naturally ventilated buildings, temperature cycles and ramps, short and long…”
A global perspective on domestic energy deprivation: Overcoming the energy poverty-fuel poverty binary (2015, background): “Neither of these metrics properly escribe the utility and satisfaction received by the final user, partly ecause the effect of the energy service on his or her requirements principally a comfortable and well-functioning home – is largely ependent on subjective variables [12,109].”
Residential energy use and conservation: Economics and demographics (2012, unknown): “See, for example, Karjalainen (2007).”
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).”
