Energy needs across the planet are rapidly evolving. As the climate is trending towards more extreme conditions, it is becoming more difficult for buildings to be energy efficient and maintain thermal comfort for occupants. Localized thermal comfort is essential for occupants of a building to increase productivity and their overall satisfaction. In addition, it is important to achieve this thermal comfort while being as energy efficient as possible. Inefficient HVAC processes lead to wasted energy, increased energy costs, and fossil fuel emissions, which contribute to more radiative forces. As more and more things are using electricity, it is putting a strain on the electric grid. The goal is to achieve thermal comfort throughout the day without putting a strain on the grid during times of peak demand.
