A Study On The Thermal Comfort In The Transitional Space Within The Building

The research of the thermal comfort has become a subject of multiplicity, such as thearchitectural environmental science, thermal comfort evaluating indicator and humanthermal psychology. Nowdays, the research has divided into two directions：the one is tostudy on the influence of the human thermal comfort caused by the building thermalenvironment; the other one is to study on influence on the human thermal comfort causedby the change of the human thermal psychology and the relationship between them.Based on the study of the former research of the thermal comfort of this aspect, thispaper analysed the influential on the human thermal psychology and thermal physiologycaused by the environment physical parameters in transitional space and the relationshipbetween them.This experiment has been done from three aspects: Firstly, exploring the influence onthe human thermal psychology and physiology caused by the condition of the transitionalspace with ceiling fan or without ceiling fan; Secondly, exploring the difference betweenthe change of the human thermal psychology and physiology in the process of thestepping into the indoor air-conditioned space from outdoor space with the transitionalspace through them; Thirdly, exploring the character of the change of the human thermalpsychology and physiology when the human stepped into the transitional space fromoutdoor space and then into the indoor space at last.By the method of testing the thermal environment, human thermal physiologyexperiment and question survey, the thesis has some results as follows:1. The skintemperature can be reduced faster and become stable state earlier when the people sittingin the transitional space with ceiling fan compared to that without ceiling.2. Thetransitional space can slow down the rate of change of the human thermal psychologyand physiology when the people stepping through the transitional space from outdoorinto the indoor space.3. the women has a stronger reaction when the thermal environment changed.4. The core temperature of the body will not change too much with the nearbythermal environment changed, and it always kept around36.5℃to37.2℃.
