TI  - A New Measure for Individual Thermal Comfort
AB  - This paper introduces a new measure for individual thermal comfort, inspired by the current standards forpopulation thermal comfort, and a statistical model allowing us to imitate individuals’ thermal comfortpreferences. Our approach is based on the observation that an individual has a temperature range around his or herdesired temperature point in which he or she is comfortable with the surrounding thermal environment. The crucialparameters of our statistical model, which represents the thermal characteristic of individuals of buildingoccupants, have been assumed to be normally distributed random variables so that the thermal comfort preferencesof different individuals can be generated for the further simulation purposes. When aggregated to a population’sgeneral thermal comfort parameters, the variables of these distributions have been adjusted in such a way as tobring very close consistency with the current standards, which define the criteria for acceptable thermal conditionsof human occupancy in a built environment.
