Abstract:

Field measurements on thermal comfort were carried out in a building with double-skin façade from January 14th to 16th, 2009.Data are obtained by measurements of physical parameters and a questionnaire survey is conducted at the same time in 27 offices of the building.The subjective survey involves questions on demographic information of the occupants, health status, environmental comfort conditions and acceptance.A total of 150 occupants are investigated and 131 questionnaires are completed.The statistical data presents the distributions of predicted mean vote, mean thermal sensation vote, mean thermal comfort vote, thermal acceptability, etc.The results show that low relative humidity is the main reason causing thermal discomfort.The greatest discomfort is dry mouth and eye dryness which are caused by low relative humidity.The females are verified to be more sensitive than the males.Meanwhile, a double-skin façade represents a good noise insulation effect while the glare problem is still unresolved.
