An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Gomez De Leon, A. B., Rodrigues, L., Gillott, M., & Calautit, J. (2018). An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing. In N/a

Thermal evaluation of building envelopes is useful to approach efficient solutions for energy savings. Meteorological parameters represent an important role for this analysis. Future climate scenarios are considered to study climate behavior to provi... Read More about An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing.

Design and performance analysis of a regenerative evaporative cooler for cooling of buildings in arid climates (2018)
Journal Article
Boukhanouf, R., Amer, O., Ibrahim, H. G., & Calautit, J. K. (2018). Design and performance analysis of a regenerative evaporative cooler for cooling of buildings in arid climates. Building and Environment, 142, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2018.06.004

Evaporative cooling has been considered a low energy consumption process that often is associated with displacement ventilation and passive cooling strategies of buildings. While significant energy savings can be accrued from using evaporative coolin...

Does a neutral thermal sensation determine thermal comfort? (2018)
Journal Article
Shazad, S., Brennan, J., Theodossopoulos, D., Calautit, J. K., & Hughes, B. R. (2018). Does a neutral thermal sensation determine thermal comfort?. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 39(2), https://doi.org/10.1177/0143624418754498

The neutral thermal sensation (neither cold, nor hot) is widely used through the application of the ASHRAE seven-point thermal sensation scale to assess thermal comfort. This study investigated the application of the neutral thermal sensation and it... Read More about Does a neutral thermal sensation determine thermal comfort?.
