Outdoor temperatures and comfort indoors
Abstract
Using available data of outdoor temperatures in a given locality, it is possible, the author suggests, to forecast the range of temperatures that occupants will require indoors in order to feel comfortable—and this could have important implications for building design and economy. The author is Head of the Human Factors Section at the UK Bulding Research Establishment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
