Abstract:
The research progress on thermal comfort of indoor environment from the aspects of factors affecting indoor thermal environment, evaluating indices and evaluating means and so on were reviewed in this paper. It was suggested that further research should be done by means of forecasting and evaluating indoor thermal comfort applying the physiological parameters of Chinese residents and this should be done in a contextualized way.
