STUDY ON THERMAL COMFORT ADAPTIVE MODEL OF NATURAL VENTILATED RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN HOT-SUMMER AND COLD-WINTER AREA

The large sample size test and statistic of thermophysical parameters of natural ventilated residentialbuildings in hot-summer and cold-winter area, including the indoor air temperature, relative humidity,and wind speed, was performed in this study. The basic situations of the occupant were investigated byquestionnaires. The thermal sensation subjective response of the occupant was investigated withASHRAE seven sensation scales. Statistical analysis of the results on the survey was performed andthe thermal neutral temperature of this area was obtained; adaptive thermal comfort model of naturalventilated room in this was constituted, the adaptive correlation between indoor comfort temperatureand outdoor air temperature was established. The adaptive comfort temperature was applied as thedesign indexes of indoor thermal environment. It can not only improve the indoor thermal condition, butalso decrease the energy consumption of the equipments observably.
