Measurement and Questionnaire Survey on Indoor Thermal Environment of a Library in the Hot-Summer and Warm-Winter Region of China

Abstract:

This study dealt with the indoor thermal environment of an university library in Nanning where is hot in summer and warm in winter. Measurements of air temperatures, relative humidity and air velocity etc. at selected points inside the library were conducted during a summer period. Analysis results of measurement data was described in the paper. Thermal comfort was analyzed based on questionnaire survery. This paper also provides suggestions for improving the indoor thermal environment and comfort as well as energy performance in library-like buildings in the hot-summer and warm-winter region.
