Can ventilation solve the conflict of personal temperature preferences?
In short: Watch Shaun Fitzgerald address the complex physics of indoor environments. This Q&A session explores how we can engineer spaces to balance humidity, airflow, and the diverse thermal needs of different people.
Filmed at the Royal Institution on May 24, 2018, this session features Shaun Fitzgerald responding to inquiries from a diverse group of attendees. The discussion moves beyond simple cooling to tackle nuanced architectural challenges, such as managing high humidity through natural ventilation.
A key focus of the dialogue is the 'thermal comfort' problem: how to satisfy individuals who prefer different temperatures within a single building. By exploring the physics of hot air and airflow, the session provides insight into the technical requirements of modern climate control.
