当前的舒适标准规定了静态“理想”温度，该温度在空间上保持均匀，并随时间保持恒定。这样的静态温度标准可能需要大量的能量来维持。然而，一个人对热环境的满意度可能取决于时间、建筑形式和功能、室内外气候的关系、社会条件、文化期望，以及除直接物理环境外的其他环境因素。这种复杂性意味着需要一个考虑所有这些因素的可变标准。本最终报告项目的目标是整理世界不同气候区域进行的现场试验的数据，根据这些现场调查的累积结果开发一个热舒适的自适应模型，并提出一个可能补充ASHRAE标准55的可变温度标准- 92.主要研究者:理查德·德·迪尔，麦格理研究有限公司。研究时间:1995年9月至1997年3月。赞助单位:TC 2.1，生理学和人类环境

Current comfort standards prescribe a static "ideal" temperature that is to be maintained uniformly over space and constant over time. Such a static temperature standard can require significant quantities of energy to maintain. However, a person's satisfaction with the thermal environment can depend on time, building form and function, the relationship of the indoor and outdoor climates, social conditioning, cultural expectations, and other contextual factors in addition to the immediate physical environment. This complexity implies that a variable standard is needed which takes all these factors into account.The objective of this finalreports project is to collate data from field experiments conducted across different climatic regions of the world, to develop an adaptive model of thermal comfort based on the cumulative results of these field investigations and to propose a variable temperature standard that might supplement ASHRAE Standard 55-92.Principal Investigator: Richard de Dear, Macquarie Research, Ltd.Conducted: September 1995 - March 1997Sponsored by: TC 2.1, Physiology and Human Environment
