通过两个实验室实验，研究了中国人热舒适性的性别差异。实验过程中采用主观评价和客观测量相结合的方法。其中一项实验测量了皮肤温度(17分)和心率变异性(HRV)。结果表明，中国人的热舒适性存在性别差异。热感觉投票与气温和蒸汽压的相关性表明，女性比男性对温度更敏感，对湿度更不敏感。主观评估、皮肤温度和心率变异性分析表明，女性更喜欢中性或略热的环境，因为她们的皮肤温度一直较低，而且平均皮肤温度很好地预测了中性以下的感觉和不适。女性舒适手术温度(26.3摄氏度)高于男性舒适手术温度(25.3摄氏度)，尽管男性和女性具有几乎相同的中性温度，并且在中性条件下的热感觉没有性别差异。
Gender difference in thermal comfort for Chinese people was investigated through two laboratory experiments. Both subjective assessment and objective measurement were taken during the experiment. Skin temperature (17 points) and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured in one of the experiment. Our results show that there are gender differences in thermal comfort for Chinese people. Correlation of thermal sensation votes and air temperature and vapor pressure shows that females are more sensitive to temperature and less sensitive to humidity than males. Subjective assessment, skin temperature and HRV analysis suggest that females prefer neutral or slightly warmer condition, due to their constantly lower skin temperature and the fact that mean skin temperature is a good predictor of sensation and discomfort below neutrality. Female comfortable operative temperature (26.3 degrees C) is higher than male comfortable operative temperature (25.3 degrees C), although males and females have almost the same neutral temperature and that there is no gender difference in thermal sensation near neutral conditions.
