This paper explores the development of personal comfort models to predict older people's thermal needs in their homes and evaluates the models' predictive performances in comparison with conventional generalised approaches.
Results have also highlighted the need for further research on combining physiological sensing, individualised predictive modelling and wearable comfort systems, as well as on defining thermal preference misclassification costs in the context of older people.
