本文介绍了在英国三个机场航站楼进行的广泛实地调查的结果，其中对室内环境条件进行了季节性监测，并同时对3087个终端用户进行了结构化访谈。在最近的工作中，乘客和工作人员对热舒适的需求存在显著差异，本文在此基础上，进一步研究了节能范围下终端用户对热舒适和照明舒适的需求。结果显示了热环境对整体舒适度的影响，并揭示了首选和经验热条件之间的一致性差异，最高达2.1摄氏度。室外温度决定了室内穿的衣服的水平，在室内，首选的热状态不是中性的。终端用户表现出高水平的热耐受性和广泛的可接受温度范围，夏季平均温度为6.1摄氏度，冬季平均温度为6.7摄氏度，这使得通过微调室内温度设定点可以节省供暖能源。照明包括一个额外的领域，通过最大限度地利用自然光节约能源。人们更喜欢明亮而不是昏暗的环境，即使在被认为足够的情况下，人们对自然光的偏好也很明显，而对更多日光的偏好被发现是与时间有关的，这表明与人类昼夜节律有关。这项研究的结果可以为旨在减少机场航站楼能源使用而不影响舒适条件以及新航站楼和现有航站楼的设计和翻新的策略提供信息。
This paper presents findings from extensive field surveys in three airport terminal buildings in the UK, where the indoor environmental conditions were seasonally monitored and simultaneous structured interviews were conducted with 3087 terminal users. Moving beyond the recent work which brought to light the significantly differentiated requirements for thermal comfort between passengers and staff, this paper expands on the investigation of thermal and lighting comfort needs for the entire spectrum of terminal users under the scope of energy conservation. The results demonstrate the influence of the thermal environment on overall comfort and reveal consistent discrepancies, up to 2.1 degrees C, between preferred and experienced thermal conditions. Outdoor temperature dictated the clothing levels worn indoors, where the preferred thermal state was other than neutral. Terminal users demonstrated high levels of thermal tolerance and wide acceptability temperature ranges, averaging 6.1 degrees C in summer and 6.7 degrees C in winter, which allow for heating energy savings through the fine-tuning of indoor temperature set-points. Lighting comprises an additional field for energy savings through the maximisation of natural light. Bright rather than dim conditions were preferred and a preference for more natural light was evident even in cases where this was deemed to be sufficient, while the preference for more daylight was found to be time-dependent suggesting a link with the human circadian rhythm. The findings from this study can inform strategies aimed at reducing energy use in airport terminals without compromising comfort conditions as well as the design and refurbishment of new and existing terminals respectively.
