Draft. These pages were imported from the ARC Technical Criteria document (16 April 2026) and have not yet been reviewed in this format. Several thresholds are still being settled and are flagged on the pages concerned.

Resources

The open dataset and published research the ARC comfort model draws on.

ASHRAE global database of thermal comfort field measurements

https://datadryad.org/dataset/doi:10.6078/D1F671

Research reference: Development of the ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360132318303652

This is the kind of database referred to in the comfort model, where local survey results are used in preference to ARC's default success criteria.

Incomplete in the source

This is the whole of the Resources appendix as it stands. The source also cites the humidity-inclusive comfort model as "Marika et al" without a full reference, and marks several other citations "[Cite source]". Those need completing before this page is a usable bibliography.
