Assessment of thermal comfort and its potential for energy efficiency in low-income tropical buildings: a review
Abstract Buildings contribute approximately 40% of global energy consumption and 15% of direct CO2 emissions from end-use sectors, primarily due to heating and cooling needs, typically met by grid electricity. This study assessed the thermal comfort and its role in enhancing energy efficiency in tro...
