Adaptive thermal comfort model for hot summer and cold winter zone

Conducts a large-scale field survey in hot summer and cold winter zone to measure the indoor environmental parameters including air temperature, humidity, air velocity etc. in residential buildings in summer and winter. Obtains by questionnaires the base condition of the residents, using the seven-point thermal sensation votes to evaluate the subjective thermal sensation. Analyses the test results with statistical method and obtains the neutral temperature and expected temperature. Develops an adaptive thermal comfort model and determines the adaptive interface relationship of indoor comfort temperature and outdoor air temperature. The variable temperature standard based on the adaptive model can both increase thermal comfort and reduce the energy consumption.
