Effect of thermal transient on human thermal comfort in temporarily occupied space in winter – A case study in Tianjin

The acceptable temperature ranges of temporarily occupied space (TOS) such as supermarkets could be different from the ranges of normal indoor spaces such as offices. However, current thermal comfort standards do not distinguish such a space from normal spaces and identify its design temperature range clearly. This study proposed TOS, and explored human responses to TOS with the ultimate goal of finding its optimal design temperature range in...
