Abstract

Abstract:

【Objective】 The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the physiological equivalent temperature (PET) and microclimate factors to explore the human thermal comfort in different spatial patterns, and put forward an optimization strategy. 【Method】 Four types of architectural textures (courtyard space, neighborhood space, determinant space and single-family space) were extracted according to the site layout in the Gaochun District, Nanjing City. The spatial properties were divided into three types: open space, semi-open space and closed space. Meteorological factors such as air temperature, relative humidity and instantaneous wind speed, and the sky view factor in different spaces were measured. A questionnaire was used to analyze the human thermal comfort at different times in different spaces. The measured values were introduced into RayMan model, and the PET was calculated. Combined with data from a physiological equivalent thermometer in the Nanjing area, different levels of sensory and physiological stress were obtained. 【Result】 The correlation between PET and microclimate factors was analyzed, and the correlation between the microclimate factors and human thermal comfort was explored. The correlation between air temperature and TPE was the highest, followed by relative humidity, and the instantaneous wind speed was the lowest. The determinant space and single-family space (semi-open) performed well, and the courtyard space and neighborhood space (closed) performed the worst. 【Conclusion】 In view of the above analysis, the following four optimization strategies are proposed: determine the location and geometric type of street conducive to ventilation, determine the appropriate aspect ratio, optimize the building skin, and increase the green area. The correlation analysis of PET and microclimate factors can objectively reflect the thermal comfort of the human body. This research method can provide a scientific evaluation of human body comfort under the influence of different historical block spatial patterns, and put forward a more suitable optimization strategy for the human thermal comfort.
