Abstract

The field study was conducted during transition seasons in Harbin to investigate thermal comfort of open-plan office in severe cold region, covering deficiency of related works for open-plan office. Questionnaire survey and field measurement proceeded simultaneously. Correlation between environmental parameters, MTS and PMV were analysed to distinguish different effect of environmental factors on MTS and verify precision of PMV-PPD model. Results showed that indoor air temperature was the primary influence factor of MTS and the existence of thermal adaptation to outdoor climate affected precision of PMV model. Subjects have higher thermal acceptability in ES period than LS period with limited preference for cooler environment during transition seasons. Further research may figure out an actual thermal comfort range for staff in each specific period in severe cold region to improve thermal performance and energy efficiency at the same time.
