 Considers the problems of the existing thermal comfort model and adaptive thermal comfort model. Using the ASHRAE Thermal Comfort Database, combined with the standard effective temperature (SET), establishes a new adaptive predicted model—PTS (predicted thermal sensation) model. This model can not only predict the thermal sensation in various environments, but also reflect the adaptive differences in different classifications. Establishes the adaptive predicted model for different climate zones in China, as well as models for typical climate types worldwide. The PTS model has been proved to be more accurate and practical for a better direction in building design and environment evaluation.
