Adaptive Thermal Comfort
Adaptive thermal comfort is one of the approaches to understanding and predicting human thermal comfort in the building environment. Different from the heat balance approach that emphasizes the physical aspects of thermal comfort, the adaptive approach encourages thermally variable solutions, such as climate-responsive and energy-conserving designs, and innovative mechanical systems that allow for personal control, and therefore reduce the energy consumption of the building environment conditioning. This chapter briefly introduces why adaptive thermal comfort can attract so much research attention in the first two decades of the twenty-first century alongside the rational heat balance models. The fundamentals of building occupants’ thermal adaptation were interpreted from three layers, e.g. behavioral adjustment, psychological adaptation, and physiological acclimation. Then the progress in adaptive comfort model development and relevant regulatory documents was summarized. At last, the future challenges and opportunities of adaptive thermal comfort were shortly addressed.
