Thermal comfort survey
|
|
Take a few minutes to say how comfortable you are in your space (office, cubicle, classroom, lab, resident hall) by taking a thermal comfort survey, conducted by Atefe Makhmalbaf, assistant professor of architecture. Results will help identify where energy is being wasted at UTA. For instance, being too warm on a cold winter day or too cold on a hot summer day indicates waste of energy.
