jaue2021-058: The characteristic for the cluster of occupants through the clustering of Thermal Environment and Thermal Comfort

Abstract

The Thermal Comfort of subjective occupants is clustered with the Indoor Thermal Environment data in this
research. The purpose is to analyze the cluster derived since then. The K-means clustering approach is used in this
research. It has been clustered after verification of 3 times for the validity of k value (the number of cluster) based
on the preceding research in this research to supplement these disadvantages. The result is as follows; The optimal
number of cluster has been derived through the preceding research. As a result of analyzing with the Thermal
Comfort Index based on this, the characteristic between clusters could be identified clearly. Therefore, derived 3
clusters have been arranged as the sensitive, normal, insensitive cluster according to the characteristic.
