摘要
This study focused on thermal comfort of subjects with radiant cooling workstation and desktop fan in hot-humid environments. Twenty-four human subjects participated in the experiments and reported their thermal sensation, thermal comfort, thermal acceptability and thermal preference in the hot-humid environments at 26, 28 and 30℃ in an environmental chamber. The obtained results show that radiant cooling workstation and desktop fan significantly improved the thermal comfort of subjects in the hot-humid environments, but the effect was not obvious at 26℃. Subjects can still well maintain the neutral thermal sensation condition although indoor environment was as high as 30℃ and the relative humidity was 80%. Therefore, radiant cooling workstation and desktop fan can extend comfortable temperature range in summer. This study provides a new way for maintaining comfort in non-neutral environment and saving energy in buildings. © 2017, Editorial Department of Journal of Hunan University. All right reserved.
