“…The present study reveals that there was no difference in the reported thermal sensations of respondents of a different gender. This has also been demonstrated by previous studies such as Spagnolo and de Dear (2003), Makaremi et al (2012) and Kruger and Drach (2017). A previous study carried out in Brazil in 2013 demonstrated that respondents' age difference was a significant factor influencing their thermal sensation.…”

Since the 1970s, courtyard gardens with diverse scales and design configurations have been introduced in the planning of Malaysian public hospitals to enhance users’ experiences. However, these have never been systematically evaluated to understand of how they perform and what improvements can be made to them to increase their responsiveness to users’ needs and inform the practice of both hospital designers and managers. This paper presents the results of fieldwork conducted in a large central courtyard in a Malaysian public hospital. Interview surveys and field measurements were conducted to provide a new understanding of users’ perceptions of the various physical and environmental attributes and their satisfaction levels with them.

“…Some of the respondents likely expressed their thermal sensation in slightly extreme from other respondents' due to different personal factors such as age, different type of clothing, and metabolism rate. This current study found that there was no difference in acceptable thermal sensation between respondents of different gender as revealed in the previous study by Spagnolo and de Dear (2003), Makaremi et al (2012) and Kruger and Drach (2017). Based on Figure 4 (a), one of the respondents who voted 'slightly warm' (1) was a cancer patient who wore hospital clothing and was placed in the 55 to 64-year old age group.…”

During the 1970s, different types of hospital courtyard design (HCG) were implemented in the planning of Malaysian public hospitals. Consequently, various hospitals of different scales and design concepts were built to provide a better healthcare delivery system for local communities. However, the different typologies of HCG designs are yet to be systematically evaluated. Furthermore, designers and hospital managers are not aware of how different types of HCG perform. Face-to-face interview surveys and field measurements were employed in this study to develop an understanding of users’ perceptions, experiences and satisfaction levels with the quality of HCG in a Malaysian public hospital.Keywords: Hospital courtyard garden; perceptions; experiences; level of satisfaction.eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2018.

“…Other factors that affect human organism related to thermal comfort these are; age, gender, weight, health, drinking, working conditions, season, climate others too [3,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. These factors have a significant effect on the occupants while during working time inside the kitchen of the railway pantry car.…”

Railway transportation plays a significant contribution to carrying passengers in India. In which during the journey, pantry cars are involved to serves the food to all onboard passengers. The kitchen atmosphere of the pantry car gets very hot and humid during cooking which could affect occupants' thermal comfort. Therefore, the current research article describes a review of the factors affecting human thermal comfort inside the kitchen of the railway pantry car. The factors influencing of human thermal comfort inside pantry car kitchens are classified into two categories viz; environmental factors that include "air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity, air velocity" and personal or individual factors including "metabolic rate and clothing insulation". All these factors need to be considered in order to achieve the optimum level of thermal comfort inside the kitchen environment of the pantry car. With the assistance of all these factors, we can estimate the thermal comfort indices such as; SET "standard effective temperature, " PMV "predicted mean vote, " PPD "predicted the percentage of dissatisfied, " thereby recognizing the acceptable thermal sensation range for occupants' (chefs) in the pantry car kitchens during the work period. These kinds of parametric studies can cover a wide group of all pantry car chefs in evaluating thermal comfort. Furthermore, there is a need to apply all the consequences of this research to increase the chef 's thermal comfort inside the pantry car kitchen while working.
