Thermal Comfort during Summer in a High-speed Railway Station in Cold Region of China

摘要

This study explores the interaction between perceived and calculated thermal comfort in high-speed railway station in Cold Region of China. To achieve this, a questionnaire survey in two typical high-speed railway stations in Cold Region of China was conducted in conjunction with physical measurements. The study results reveal that there is a relatively large difference between perceived thermal sensations and calculated predicted mean vote (PMV) from the measurements for the majority of the waiting hall of highspeed railway station. This finding implies that the calculation of PMV is not suitable for the situation in air conditioned waiting hall of high-speed railway stations. The results also show that the length of time a respondent staying in the waiting hall also have effect on the rule of the thermal comfort.
