Energy and indoor temperature consequences of adative thermal comfort standards

The intent of the presented study was to quantify the implications for energy demand of indoor temperature requirements based on a proposed adaptive thermal comfort standard (7) relative to a more traditional thermal comfort approach. The study focuses on a typical office situation in a moderate climate such as in The Netherlands or in the Czech Republic.
