Comfortable air speeds for young people lying at rest in the hot-humid area of China in summer

摘要

It is highly important to determine an appropriate thermal environment for resting and sleeping people from the perspectives of human health, comfort and energy savings. The thermal responses of people lying at rest in various room conditions with self-controlled airflow were studied in the hot-humid area of China. Subjects laid on a bed and were asked to control the fan gear to achieve a certain level of thermal sensation in the tests, during which their subjective responses were collected by a questionnaire.
