Advances in adaptive thermal comfort models: application to the case study of Le Corbusier's Maison Jeanneret
Journal of Cultural Heritage
Key points: Historic buildings face discomfort and energy efficiency challenges due to their high permeability. Adaptive models are well-suited to historic buildings by incorporating adaptive mechanisms. A year-long study at Le Corbusier's Maison Jeanneret analyzed adaptation. The models consistently predict sensations, but discrepancies exist in terms of neutrality.
