Abstract

In terms of human body comfort and energy efficiency in buildings, it is significantly important to do the research on indoor air environment and human body dynamic thermal comfort. This article firstly analyzes their relationship between objective and subjective aspects of the air atmosphere. Secondly, according to thermal equilibrium and the main thermal comfort index, the influence factors of thermal comfort are described, which involve indoor temperature, air humidity, air distribution, the mean radiant temperature on the different surfaces, IAQ, etc. At last, a security, economics, reasonable, and health air processing scheme is put forward.
