这本专著介绍了亚洲鱼类资源研究项目RP-702的研究结果；对澳大利亚北部热带城市汤斯维尔12栋空调办公楼的室内气候和居住舒适性进行了实地调查。该项目复制了旧金山早期的ASHRAE调查（RP462），主要目的是研究热湿气候环境对空调建筑室内气候的人类热响应的影响。

This monograph presents the findings ofASHRAE research project RP-702; a field investigation of indoor climates and occupant comfort in 12 air-conditioned office buildings in Townsville, located in Australia's tropical north. The project replicates an earlier ASHRAE investigation in San Francisco (RP-462), with the primary aim being to examine the effects of a hot-humid climatic context on human thermal response to the indoor climates of air-conditioned buildings.
