Joining LINEACT at CESI for a research internship would be a fantastic opportunity to contribute to innovative projects while deepening my skills in a cutting-edge environment Abstract The Mediterranean climate in southern France is characterized by long and hot summers and mild winters. Under these conditions, understanding the impact of HVAC systems on the comfort of office occupants and their adaptive behaviors is important to create a comfortable indoor thermal environment. The objective of this study is to understand the effects of occupants' air conditioning/heating switching behavior on thermal satisfaction in two-person offices of buildings located in Montpellier in southern France and equipped with an air-water heat pump HVAC system. Indoor temperature and indoor relative humidity were collected (10-min intervals), occupancy and weather (outdoor temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed) data were collected over one year. Moreover, the air-conditioning/heating...
