Owing to movement in the spatial environment and changes in activity levels, students? thermal perception is time varying in classrooms throughout different periods of the day. However, previous studies have rarely considered the time-varying thermal per...

Mist evaporation cooling (MEC) is increasingly used as a low-energy means to improve thermal comfort in hot environments. However, the thermal sensation votes (TSV) often overshoot values of Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) models. Evaluations of MEC may be aff...
