“…Kwon et al [7] stressed that orientation might not be the main cause for user's discomfort but that other factors such as glass components of the building's façade, artificial lighting, and window shade may also have impact on users' visual comfort. Ali et al [17] revealed that external blinds improve the thermal perception of the occupants due to provide shading from the direct solar radiations and controlling heat gain or loss. Considering thermal and visual satisfaction, Kwon et al [7] found that window-wall ratio (WWR), which is computed by dividing the glazing areas by the entire exterior wall façade area [7], did not influence thermal comfort satisfaction.…”

Post-occupancy evaluations are common tools used to periodically assess Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in tertiary buildings. Although the large amount of data collected from surveys contain valuable information, the influence of building characteristics on IEQ considering the different uses of the rooms and different types of occupants is rarely considered in the evaluation. This study presents an analysis of the association between building characteristics and IEQ in different building rooms (classrooms and offices) and different occupants (students and lecturers) using a post occupancy evaluation survey to 1013 occupants in 26 higher educational buildings in Spain under a Mediterranean climate. This research demonstrated that building characteristics influence IEQ perceptions of the different rooms in tertiary education buildings. The possibility of controlling the lighting, shadows or heating, ventilation air or conditioning (HVAC) systems are the most influential factors when analyzing IEQ. The findings of this research are of interest to facility managers aiming at implementing energy efficiency measures based on user-centric satisfaction or developing maintenance plans focused on IEQ enhancement.

“…The metabolic rate of the human body (i.e., the rate of energy release in the chemical reaction of food decomposition) is represented by M (W/m 2 ), W (W/m 2 ) refers to the work rate of the human body (i.e., the mechanical efficiency of human body output under different activity intensities; generally = 0), Pa (kPa) is the vapor pressure, t a ( • C) is the ambient air temperature surrounding the human body and t r ( • C) is the average radiation temperature of the surrounding environment. The actual value of the thermal sensation vote is a typical thermal comfort evaluation index, and the PMV average thermal sensation index is more suitable for indoor artificial thermal environments [29]. Adaptive adjustment is not considered in the PMV model, which leads to a deviation between the predicted average vote of thermal sensation and the actual situation [30,31].…”

The stilt house is one of the most representative of Chinese architecture among national minority traditional dwellings, most of which are located in mountainous regions whose climate is characterized by hot summers and cold winters. Moreover, it is widely distributed in Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, etc., as well as tropics like Hawaii, Guam. These kinds of dwellings have unique architectural aesthetics as well as high climate adaptability. However, because of their remote locations and rapid disappearance in urbanization, few studies have focused on their real indoor environment and thermal comfort. More studies were engaged in their architectural aesthetics and space patterns. In this study, based on the measurement and evaluation of residential natural lighting, ventilation, air quality, and thermal comfort in traditional stilt Dong village houses, the air temperature, humidity, CO2 and PM2.5 concentrations, wind speed, direction, and other variables are monitored and analyzed. Results show that the inhabitants have a higher thermal comfort adaptation than urban residents under natural ventilation. Meanwhile, the humidity of Dong stilt dwelling can reach a satisfactory level within 24 h except for the morning period. The satisfaction of the acoustic environment needs to be improved via reasonable structural maintenance.

“…However, the PMV-PPD model is based on controlled laboratory experiments, assuming that the human body passively accepts surrounding thermal conditions without adapting to temperature changes. Thus, it is usually most suitable to be used in air-conditioned spaces with mostly seated occupants, such as office buildings (Chen and Chang, 2012;Langevin, Wen and Gurian, 2013;Wang et al, 2014;Martínez et al, 2015;Gangisetti et al, 2016;Elizabeth Amudhini Stephen, 2018;Kwak and Huh, 2019;Tewari et al, 2019;Ali et al, 2020;Bagheri Moghaddam et al, 2021;de Oliveira, Rupp and Ghisi, 2021;Staveckis and Borodinecs, 2021). Previous research has established that the difficulty of applying PMV models is estimating occupants' clothing insulation and metabolic rate (Ma et al, 2021).…”

Thermal Comfort in Buildings: Scientometric Analysis and Systematic Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The building sector is one of the most resource-exhausting areas in global energy consumption. Maintaining good thermal comfort for occupants is the leading energy demand in buildings. The primary purpose of the current study is to identify the development of research areas on occupant comfort, pinpoint the gaps in knowledge and recommend directions for future studies. A scientometric analysis and a comprehensive systematic literature review are conducted using 792 sources. It is evident from the exponential increase in published papers that scholars are highly interested in this research topic. However, discrepancies remain between the two fundamental models of evaluating thermal comfort. There is a pressing need to balance thermal comfort while increasing energy efficiency. The foundation of achieving this balance can only be done by correctly evaluating the surrounding environment of occupants and understanding all the factors influencing human thermal comfort conditions. There is also a high potential in employing industry 4.0 technologies to assist in designing more innovative solutions for thermal comfort. Furthermore, there is a need for local thermal standards targeting specific regions. The lack of interoperability between BIM 3D modelling and energy simulation tools remains an obstacle.
