Thermal environments hold significant importance in human living environments, affecting quality of life, work efficiency, and building energy consumption. Accurate evaluation of thermal comfort involves the quantification of subjective information and the establishment of indices and models. Although various thermal comfort evaluation methods currently exist, the complexity of subjective emotions has often been overlooked. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the underlying purposes and logic behind different thermal comfort evaluation methods, focusing on the intricacies of subjective information. It emphasizes that while substantial studies have already demonstrated that thermal sensation alone is insufficient for evaluating thermal environments in different contexts, there is still an overreliance on thermal sensation by various indices and models. By critically reviewing the role of subjective information in these methods, this review aims to promote the healthy development of thermal comfort evaluation.

热舒适性评价方法中的主观信息：批判性综述


热环境在人类生活环境中具有重要意义，影响生活质量、工作效率和建筑能耗。热舒适性的准确评价涉及主观信息的量化以及指数和模型的建立。尽管目前存在各种热舒适评价方法，但主观情绪的复杂性往往被忽视。本文对不同热舒适性评估方法背后的潜在目的和逻辑进行了全面分析，重点关注主观信息的复杂性。它强调，虽然大量研究已经表明，仅靠热感觉不足以评估不同情况下的热环境，但各种指数和模型仍然过度依赖热感觉。本文通过批判性地回顾主观信息在这些方法中的作用，旨在促进热舒适评价的健康发展。
