Abstract

Aiming at the insufficiency of thermal comfort standards of naturally ventilated buildings, the domestic existing thermal comfort evaluation models are introduced, including revised PMV models, climate adaptive models and its revised models. The results show that building energy saving potential can be well exerted by the use of thermal comfort models for naturally ventilated buildings to guide architectural design and the operation of air conditioning equipment. Chinese thermal comfort study samples are abundant, but have not yet established complete human thermal comfort research database. Therefore, it is difficult to form a standardized thermal comfort evaluation system. Various models have advantages and disadvantages when used to evaluate the indoor thermal comfort of naturally ventilated buildings. The follow-up studies should consider the error correction and focus on the combination of PMV model and adaptive model, and finally form a more comprehensive lumped parameter evaluation model which can combine the theories of human body heat balance and human body adaptability.
