(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Thermal comfort standards are required to provide comfortable indoor condition which has a positive effect on the occupant. However, the Predicted Mean Vote – Percentage People Dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model which is used ...
Asymmetric import cost pass-through in GCC countries: Evidence from nonlinear panel analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigates the asymmetric impacts of import costs on inflation in GCC countries. We utilize data from GCC countries and their trading partners over the period of 1990:Q1-2014:Q4 to construct a new import cost ...
An adaptive relationship of thermal comfort for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries: The case of offices in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Escalating building energy expenditure encourages rethinking on thermal comfort delivery in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in warm desert climate. The GCC states do not have an adaptive comfort standard, or ...
