Field study on thermal comfort in dormitories of a university in Harbin

Measures the thermal environment parameters in naturally ventilated dormitories in spring and autumn and makes the subjective questionnaires on human’s thermal sensation and thermal comfort. The results show that indoor air temperature is 20.7-28.9 ℃, in the comfort zone of ASHRAE 55-2004 standard. The thermal neutral temperature is 22.8 ℃, the thermal preferred temperature is 25.8 ℃, and the thermal comfort temperature range is 18.7-25.9 ℃. The adaptive model of thermal comfort is tc=0.25tw+18.4.
