An analysis of influential factors on outdoor thermal comfort in summer
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2011A variety of research has linked high temperature to outdoor thermal comfort in summer, but it remains unclear how outdoor meteorological environments influence people's thermal sensation in subtropical monsoon climate areas, especially in China. In order to explain the process, and to better understand the related influential factors, we conducted an ...
