Research on human thermal comfort for warm-wet climate zones in South China

Performs the researches by a laboratory method.Through the analysis of different gender, ages and regions of human thermal comfort, concludes that gender has little influence on thermal comfort, while different ages and especially different occupation have notable influence on thermal comfort. According to the characteristic of this experimental study, obtains 80 percent satisfied zones and compares with those in the ASHRAE 55—1992 and the ISO 7730 standards, and the results show that the comfort zone from this experiment is wider, and the impact of relative humidity on the thermal sensation is obvious than previous.
