Abstract
- In order to improve the thermal environment of residential buildings in winter for Xinjiang, this research conducted a field test and a survey of residential buildings under typical heating methods. The results show that the indoor temperature and humidity are dynamically changing, and the variation of central heating and gas wall-mounted furnace fluctuated less than that of coal heating. Furthermore, the thermal environment evaluation shows that the thermal comfort level under gas wall-mounted furnace heating are the highest, which belongs to category Ⅰ. For the central heating and coal stove, only 12% and 26% of buildings achieve to category Ⅱ. Moreover, it is found that the acceptable temperature range of coal furnace heating residents can be as low as 19.5°C, while that of central heating and gas wall-mounted furnace heating is 20.3°C~25.7°C, which relate to the clothing insulation of residents under different heating methods. In addition, all residents almost have the same habit of window opening behaviour during heating period, and 72% of residents open windows for ventilation. Correspondingly, 62% of residents feel dry during heating season, which induce xerosis cutis, dry mouth and other uncomfortable symptom, and can be improved by using humidifier, planting plants and so on.
