Abstract

The reasons for the inferior performance of many existing buildings and associated energy systems are diverse, but an important part-cause is
insufficient attention to the influence of occupant behaviour. In smart buildings it is necessary to allow for the integration of human behaviour in the
HVAC system. In addition, many researchers are limited in their investigation by not having low cost tools that can provide information for their studies.
This article is a review of the present state of art about the globe thermometer. It describes how to build your own globe temperature sensor and
describes experiments that illustrate the feasibility of using a black globe thermometer with 40 mm diameter.
