Determines thermal comfort standards suitable for natural ventilation of railway stations. Simulates the application of natural ventilation to railway stations in different climatic regions using the DeST and CFD software with input data from field investigation. Analyses the practicability of using natural ventilation to improve the indoor thermal comfort of railway stations and reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning systems. Emphasizes the natural ventilation strategies which should be adopted in these regions, providing a reference and basis for future natural ventilation design of railway stations.
