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...

The aim of the project is to develop a web-interactive tool that converts a user’s 15-minute data (i.e. Green Button Data upload or API request) into actual grid carbon emissions (i.e. using Watttime’s API). The tool will have data visualizations that display user’s electricity data and carbon emissions...

Our group studies thermal comfort and heat stress in our environmental test chamber and in real buildings. We sometimes measure heart rate data using an off-the-shelf sensor (Polar H10). However, the available data collection systems do not work well for our purposes as they target athletes rather than...
