本文介绍了一项为期一年的关于空调办公楼内人员热舒适性和相关行为适应的纵向案例研究的结果。通过对当地热环境和行为的在线每日调查和数据记录器测量收集了长期数据。根据环境和个人的热舒适变量来检查行为结果。关键的个人变量包括一个人目前可接受的热感觉范围，这显著解释了热舒适反应的个体间差异。研究结果还显示，上班期间的衣着调整和代谢率升高，可能会影响随后的热舒适和行为轨迹。行为排序看起来很复杂，有时会在短时间内观察到多个行为，某些行为会受到上下文的限制。通过阐明人与建筑相互作用的本质，本文的发现可能会为改进的居住行为的测量、建模和预期提供信息，作为未来可持续建筑设计和运营实践的一部分。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper presents findings from a one-year longitudinal case study of occupant thermal comfort and related behavioral adaptations in an air-conditioned office building. Long-term data were collected via online daily surveys and datalogger measurements of the local thermal environment and behavior. Behavioral outcomes are examined against both environmental and personal thermal comfort variables. Key personal variables include one's currently acceptable range of thermal sensations, which significantly explains inter-individual variations in thermal comfort responses. Results also show substantial between-day clothing adjustments and elevated metabolic rates upon office arrival, which may affect subsequent thermal comfort and behavior trajectories. Behavior sequencing appears complex, with multiple behaviors sometimes observed within a short time period and certain behaviors subject to contextual constraints. By elucidating the nature of the human-building interaction, the paper's findings may inform the improved measurement, modeling, and anticipation of occupant behavior as part of future sustainable building design and operation practices.
