Join us for our Lunch Talk: Human Thermal Sensor - a new concept for controlling individual thermal satisfaction
When: Thursday, February 18 at 12:00 - 13:00 (lunch served from 12:00 until live broadcast starts at 12:30)
Venue: Coffee Area at Open Innovation House, Espoo, Otaniementie 19b
Speaker: Pekka Tuomaala, Principal Scientist at VTT
According to the latest findings, there seems to be even 6˚C difference in optimal indoor temperatures for individuals having different body compositions. This fact puts more pressure for developing new control concepts responding to our individual thermal expectations. This presentation introduces such a novel thermal control concept, which is able to improve well-being and productivity of occupants as well as energy-efficiency of buildings.
