Adaptive thermal comfort in the different buildings of Darjeeling Hills in eastern India – Effect of difference in elevation by Thapa, Samar

“…Thermal comfort standards are required to provide comfortable indoor condition which has a positive effect on the occupant. However, the Predicted Mean Vote – Percentage People Dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model which is used to determine the indoor comfort in most of the international standards fails often, especially in naturally ventilated buildings. …”
