The thermal comfort affects the health and productivity of occupants, whereas it is an important issue of the energy saving. This paper evaluated the thermal comfort in an air-conditioned presentation room of an incineration plant in Taiwan. The objectives of the study include: (1) to understand the thermal sensation of the visitors, and (2) to find the predicted optimal control temperature of air conditioner in the room. An ASM tool was used to measure indoor comfort parameters, and the questionnaire surveys to collect subjective parameters, such as heights, weights, clothing, and feelings about thermal comfort of interviewers, were conducted simultaneously. Combining with the results from field measurements, comfort parameters were correlated to the thermal comfort, and the result shows that except outdoor average temperature, there are no significant correlations between the thermal comfort and other parameters. It indicated that the outdoor average temperature had an impact on the prediction of indoor thermal comfort. A weakness of adaptive model was developed and computed that the optimal thermal temperature was 23.2 ° C with a range of 22.0 ~ 25.6 ° C. |
