Human thermal comfort model and evaluation on building thermal environment

A healthy and comfortable thermal environment has become the core focus on building environment evaluation. The key is to realize room temperature regulation based on the demand for human thermal comfort. The study aims to build the core of building thermal environment regulation, building thermal environment evaluation system, to achieve accurate evaluation and prediction of thermal comfort temperature for different type buildings and occupants. Considering the differences between traditional and smart buildings in building intelligence, whose thermal environment evaluation frameworks are proposed respectively. Taking the traditional buildings in a typical city from the severe cold zone as an example, the thermal comfort models of different type buildings, heating periods, and occupants are established. Furthermore, the corresponding correction factors are proposed for age, gender, BMI and metabolic rate. This study provides theoretical support for the evaluation of building thermal environments.
