Advanced Berkeley Comfort Model Web Interface Development
Charlie Huizenga, Research Specialist
Center for Environmental Design Research
Applications for Fall 2025 are closed for this project.
The Advanced Berkeley Comfort (ABC) model is one of the world's most sophisticated models of human thermal comfort. In includes a physiological model of the human body that includes all of the thermoregulatory processes including sweating, blood flow and shivering. The model calculates heat transfer between the body and the environment and can predict thermal sensation and comfort in non-uniform, transient environments.
We are finalizing a react-based web-based interface to the model to provide broader access to the model. This project will involve collecting user feedback on the existing interface and creating a public release.
Role: - Gain familiarity with the existing interface architecture
- Gather feedback from users of the existing interface
- Implement final features and address any outstanding issues
- Create a public release of the interface
Qualifications: - Experience with react-based web application development
- Self-motivated and organized
Hours: to be negotiated
