Abstract:An intensive study on the heating temperature aimed to create a satisfying indoor condition that should meet the residents' thermal requirements in accordance to their daily behavior pattern. Unlike urban residents who stay indoors for a long time, rural residents constantly live in a dynamic environment: they often leave their residences and get busy with numerous labor activities. Therefore, the thermal sensation questionnaire survey performed in a steady environment is not suitable for them. To study the rural heating temperature in a dynamic environment, a three-years field investigation was performed in South Liaoning province. During the investigation, a continuous tracking method was adopted to record the residents' behavior: objective environmental parameters test and subjective thermal sensation surveys were rigorously recorded.
The results indicate that the residents behavior pattern exerts an influence on the heating temperature by influencing the residents' clothing insulation. Heating temperature in auxiliary rooms can be directly determined by the residents' thermal sensation, with the reasonable value of 11 degrees C. The influence of residents' behavior on clothing should be considered when determining heating temperature in the master bedroom, the reported value of which is 13 degrees C. The heating temperature obtained by the thermal sensation fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model in paper reflects the rural residents' real-life requirements on thermal environment, and it provides a reference for designing rural residences.
