summary |
Thermal comfort is a critical research field because it affects people's health, productivity, and well-being in an architectural space. Numerous previous studies have attempted to find thermal environment conditions where average people feel comfortable. Recently, researchers have focused more on estimating and improving thermal comfort on an individual level to improve the accuracy of previous methods, leveraging recent developments in sensing technologies. However, there are still some remaining issues, such as limited scalability due to the use of in-place sensors and the assumption of a uniform thermal environment, making it unable to recognize locational differences. This study is fundamental research that proposes a human-based approach based on a mobile measurement system to overcome these issues. Firstly, the concept and the benefits are clarified and then, the methodologies and results of two fundamental experiments are explained. One was a field experiment to investigate its validity in estimating individual thermal comfort in real-life situations. The other one was to consider and examine ways to improve individual thermal comfort by the human-based approach. The results suggest that the human-based approach can be beneficial in a way never seen although some issues need to be addressed in future research. |
