Including the effect of solar radiation in dynamic indoor thermal comfort indices

Jorge Conejo-Fernandez et al.

Summary: Utilizing solar gains is an effective passive strategy to reduce heating energy demand, as it impacts both the thermal balance of buildings and occupants. By incorporating solar radiation into thermal comfort models, with adjustments to Predicted Mean Vote calculations, it can better account for its effects. Dynamic thermal comfort indices have shown to perform similarly to solar-adjusted PMV in detecting comfort issues in various configurations.

A Reinforcement Learning-Based Approach to Automate the Electrochromic Glass and to Enhance the Visual Comfort

Raghuram Kalyanam et al.

Summary: Daylight is crucial for human well-being, but glare can be a problem in office buildings with large windows and glass facades. Traditional shading systems may not effectively adapt to changing sky conditions, while electrochromic (EC) glass offers better light transmission control. By using reinforcement learning with a DQN agent, glare scenarios can be avoided effectively, increasing the amount of useful daylight and reducing the need for artificial lighting.
