Non-thermostatic control systems based on thermal comfort

Are you using or thinking of using infrared heating or ventilation to provide adaptive personal comfort in your built environment?

Heating and cooling air in bulk is energy intensive. User experiences are subjective and behavioural, and are not aligned to objective control systems based on a simple air temperature, which can be significantly wasteful.

Adaptive and responsive systems like infrared heating and ventilation provide user comfort and enhanced wellbeing in time and place of need, improve energy efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions by adapting to renewable energy vectors. Responsive systems are also modular and offer cost-effective solutions for personal thermal comfort management, and retrofitting buildings with existing central conditioning systems.

BUT you must not control adaptive and responsive systems by thermostat, since the air temperature is least effected. Furthermore bulk air heating and cooling takes time, which introduces a delay in the experience of thermal comfort, leaving occupants dissatisfied.

Introducing EluxEvo: ground-breaking innovation combining sensors and machine learning to accurately determine and predict subjective user comfort within environments heated and cooled by adaptive personal comfort systems.
