Title:From Thermal Preference Prediction to Adaptive Thermal Intervention: A Reinforcement Learning Approach Using Physiological and Environmental Sensing
Abstract:Personalised thermal comfort is essential for occupant wellbeing and for the development of more responsive building-control strategies, yet conventional Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems rely on static setpoints and population-level comfort models that fail to capture individual physiological variability. This paper presents a two-stage personalised thermal comfort approach integrating multimodal physiological and environmental sensing with reinforcement learning-based decision-making.
