Field Study on Human Thermal Adaptation in Summer of Tibetan Dwellings in Kangding, China

Abstract:

In order to study the human thermal adaptation in Tibetan dwellings of Kangding Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, selected 4 dwellings in Tagong and Zhonggu village as the research objects and used the method of objective thermal environment parameters test combined with the subjective questionnaire, and got a total of 119 valid samples, the data analysis results show that indoor air temperature in this area was low, average clothing insulation was 0.75clo and it correlated with outdoor temperature was stronger than that with indoor temperature. The change rate of human thermal sensation changing along with outdoor temperature was 0.113 per temperature and it was 0.147 per temperature changing along with indoor temperature. Thermal neutral temperature was 18.5°C and preferred temperature was 20.65°C, neutral temperature was lower than preferred temperature but closer to average indoor temperature (17.36°C).
