Application of Data Mining Techniques in the Analysis of Indoor Hygrothermal Conditions

The main benefit of the book is that it explores available methodologies for both conducting in-situ measurements and adequately exploring the results, based on a case study that illustrates the benefits and difficulties of concurrent methodologies.The ca

Preface

Over the last years, the indoor environmental quality of buildings has been extensively studied. The results obtained, by different researchers, have shown that indoor environmental conditions of buildings play an important role in terms of health and wellbeing of their occupants. The characterization of indoor hygrothermal conditions is frequently pursued as part of the overall environmental evaluation. Different measurement techniques can be used and large amounts of data will become available after extensive in-situ campaigns. The application of adequate statistical tools
