Abstract

Thermal comfort referred to the satisfaction of human beings with the surrounding environment. This report aimed at investigating thermal comfort in the domestic space. By comparing the internal condition recorded by data logger with provided external conditions, discuss the factors affecting the condition difference between inside and outside, then analysis the rationality of Predicted Mean Vote (PMW) comparing to activity diary, followed by suggestions to improve the building thermal performance.
