Based on the Chinese thermal comfort database, studies human thermal adaptability in natural ventilation environment in the representative cities of cold zone with three types of climates. Taking Xi’an, Dalian and Turpan as the representative cities for temperate continental monsoon climate, temperate maritime monsoon climate and temperate continental desert climate, respectively, obtains the thermal neutral temperature and acceptable temperature range for three climate types. The results show that the residents in the temperate maritime monsoon climate are less sensitive to the thermal environment. Both the thermal neutral temperature and the acceptable temperature range in the temperate continental desert climate are high, which provides an evidence for human adaptability to the climate. Through multivariate linear analysis, obtains the multi-factor predictive model of the thermal sensation of natural ventilation buildings in Xi’an and Turpan in summer and its significant influencing factors.
