    Human thermal comfort is ultimately dependent upon six simple parameters that can be easily measured and assessed for any individual in any particular environment. This allows us to design buildings within which all occupants will be thermally comfortable. The aim of a building, either dwellings or commercial buildings is to offer shelter and a different climate from the world outside . One of the factor to consider to build a favourable place to work or live is the thermal comfort. The thermal…

    infrared radiation emitted from the Earth’s surface and radiate it in all directions, which results extra heating of the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface. As the radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth’s surface, the energy is converted to thermal energy. Then, the Earth emits lower-energy infrared radiation back out to the atmosphere and space. The Earth’s atmosphere and clouds trap this infrared energy and radiation directed from the Sun by certain gases called greenhouse gases,…

    the dynamics of space charge and electric field distribution in cable insulation material under DC voltage. Electric field distribution and formation of space charge The dependency of electric field distribution on time and temperature is obvious in HVDC system. This is due to the resistivity/conductivity dependency on temperature and electric field [1, 44]. It is also clear that the formation of space charge within the insulation material is depended on both temperature and external applied…

As the radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth’s surface, the energy is converted to thermal energy. Then, the Earth radiates lower-energy infrared radiation back out to the atmosphere and space. The Earth’s atmosphere and clouds absorb this infrared energy and radiation directed from the Sun by greenhouse gases. Some examples of…

    of thermal comfort, which depends on the aims and expectations of those who defined it (Chappells, and Shove, 2004). Jiao (2010) stated that, the rate at which human body gain and lose energy, and also the state of comfort is satisfactory once all heat flow in and out of the body are in equilibrium. Also, (ASHRAE 2004), described it as “the state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the surrounding environment.” This definition highlights subjective and psychological dimension of thermal…
