The energy implications of a climate-based indoor air temperature standard.

Author(s) : MILNE G. R.

Summary

Argues that the adoption of a "climatically" based comfort standard in line with the findings of field surveys rather than laboratory studies, which currently form the basis of ISO and ASHRAE temperature standards, has the potential to save a significant amount of energy. Reports that an examination of the service sector shows that savings of around 10% are possible in the United Kingdom.
