文摘
- •
Parameters varied in building energy simulations to assess adaptive comfort impacts.
- •
Building size and internal gains were most important; envelope properties less so.
- •
Ceiling fans and night ventilation were effective, low-energy comfort interventions.
- •
A new metamodel can support building labeling program and provide design guidance.
- •
With informed design, comfort achievable in most of Brazil with no air conditioning.
