Assessment of thermal comfort and energy savings in a field study on adaptive comfort with application for mixed mode offices

The study of the thermal comfort of the occupants of a building represents an important challenge, due to its close relation with energy efficiency. Facing the application of set-point temperatures, the adaptive comfort model proposes the linking of the comfort temperature to the outdoor temperature which would potentially reduce the use of the HVAC system. Although there are studies that propose experimental adaptive models, few verify their...
