Lecture notes on engineering human thermal comfort[electronic resource] /David S-K Ting. - 1st ed. - Singapore :World Scientific,c2020. - 1 online resource (280 p.)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

What is thermal comfort? -- HVAC thermodynamics - Psychrometry -- Psychrometric chart and air-conditioning processes -- Building heat transmission -- Heating in the winter -- Solar radiation -- Cooling in the summer -- Energy estimation -- Heating and cooling systems -- Nature thermal comfort.

"Human thermal comfort, namely in the areas of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (collectively known as 'HVAC'), is ubiquitous wherever human habitation may be found. Today, a large portion of the developed world's current energy demands are used to artificially keep the temperatures of our environments comfortable. It is therefore imperative for everyone, decision-makers and engineers alike, involved with the future of energy to be appropriately acquainted with HVAC. Lecture Notes on Engineering Human Thermal Comfort explains the quintessence of engineering human thermal comfort through straight-forward writing designed to help students better comprehend the materials presented. Illustrative figures, anecdotal banter, and ironical analogies interject the necessary technical humdrum to provide timeous stimuli in the midst of arduous technical details. This book is primarily for senior undergraduate engineering students interested in engineering human thermal comfort. It invokes some undergraduate knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics as needed, to enable students to appreciate thermal comfort engineering without the need to seek out other textbooks.
