A review of research on dynamic thermal comfort

Nowadays, people’s requirements for comfort are getting higher and higher, and traditional steady-state thermal comfort environment sometimes cannot meet people’s requirements. Dynamic thermal comfort is considered to meet people's requirements for comfort better than traditional thermal comfort, and it is also conducive to the health of occupants and building energy conservation. Therefore, this article reviews the literature on dynamic thermal comfort. First, this article briefly describes the transition from a steady-state thermal environment to a dynamic thermal environment. Next, this article reviews the research related to dynamic thermal comfort, such as the frequency of airflow fluctuations, simulation of natural wind, thermal prediction models, the use of intelligent detection equipment, and personal environmental control. This article summarizes the related research and development of dynamic thermal comfort from the aspects of dynamic airflow parameters, indoor thermal environment regulation, thermal experience, etc. This article aims to illustrate the necessity of the development of dynamic thermal comfort and its current results. The results show that under the trend of the artificial intelligence era, dynamic thermal comfort still has broad development potential. This article It can provide some research ideas for subsequent thermal comfort research. Practical application: This paper summarizes the research and development of dynamic thermal comfort from dynamic airflow, indoor thermal environment control, thermal experience, etc., and makes appropriate extensions and prospects accordingly. At the same time, the necessity of combining thermal comfort with AI trends is emphasized. This paper can provide references and ideas for thermal research on thermal comfort.
