Thermal sensation under high-intensive exercise in naturally ventilated gymnasiums in hot-humid areas of China: Taking basketball players for example

Indoor and Built Environment, 2020
As a public building for exercises and entertainments, gymnasiums play an important role in people's daily life. In regions with hot-humid climate, thermal sensation in gymnasiums is directly related to the human health as well as energy consumption ...

Sustainable Buildings – Thermal Sensations Case Study

Materials Research Proceedings, 2022
Abstract. Currently, thermal comfort is becoming one of the most important aspects of human life. It is related to the time people spend in a closed environment. That is why it is so important to study this issue in terms of their actual thermal sensations, in order to better understand and clarify the scope of the relevant parameters, in particular by

The approximation between thermal sensation votes (TSV) and predicted mean vote (PMV): A comparative analysis

International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 2019
The Fanger's predicted mean vote (PMV) model is used to evaluate thermal comfort. However, when PMV is compared to people's real thermal sensations, collected in field studies, some discrepancies are verified. One of the components for the calculation of

Effect of pre-and post-exam stress levels on thermal sensation of students

, 2020
The Predicted Mean Vote and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PMV/PPD) method is used worldwide to assess thermal comfort. The PMV/PPD method traditionally depends on four environmental parameters; air temperature, relative humidity, mean radiant ...

A simulation framework for predicting occupant thermal sensation in perimeter zones of buildings considering direct solar radiation and ankle draft

, 2020
Buildings with highly glazed envelopes have gained popularity in recent decades. Though it is well understood that these modern buildings can be less energy efficient, only a few attempts have been made to examine the impact of certain building design ...

Overall thermal sensation, acceptability and comfort

Building and Environment, 2008
Abstract The relationships between overall thermal sensation, acceptability and comfort were studied experimentally under uniform and non-uniform conditions separately. Thirty subjects participated in the experiment and reported their local thermal sensation of each body part, overall thermal sensation, acceptability and comfort simultaneously ...

Impacts of demographic, contextual and interaction effects on thermal sensation—Evidence from a global database

Building and Environment, 2019
Previous studies have demonstrated that non-thermal factors may affect occupants' thermal response in the indoor environment. The effects of demographic and contextual factors on thermal perception have been extensively studied, yet in previous studies ...

A study on the influences of immediate thermal history on current thermal sensation

Energy and Buildings, 2019
Previous thermal history usually influences current thermal sensation and thermal comfort. In reality, people can adjust their clothes, activities, and other factors to achieve a relatively comfortable state, which is different to a study in a controlled

Effects of temperature, air movement and initial metabolic rate on thermal sensation during transient state in the tropics

Building and Environment, 2019
The effects of temperature, air movement and initial metabolic rate on transient thermal sensation at warm temperatures and high humidity among tropically acclimatized people were investigated. 26 tropically acclimatized subjects (13 males and 13 females)
