Thermal comfort boosts by linking air-con to occupant's blood pressure, saving energy.
The goal of the project was to improve people's comfort in air-conditioned buildings while reducing energy consumption. The researchers found that there is a relationship between a person's blood pressure and the temperature set by the air conditioner. Specifically, as the temperature decreases, blood pressure tends to increase. This discovery can help make indoor environments more comfortable for occupants and help air conditioners use energy more efficiently.
