Gaps in Studies and Implementations on Thermal Comfort in Residences in Vietnam
Many researchers in the field of human comfort around the world have found that the adaptive model is likely an appropriate approach to define the comfortable condition for buildings in warm-humid regions. The climate in Vietnam is characterised by annual high temperatures and humidity. Therefore, achieving the statement of thermal satisfaction for humans in that environment is challenging, particularly in free-running buildings. The paper overall reports studies on the thermal environment and human comfort perception for buildings including residences. Besides, experiences of research methods were also learnt from those previous works. Another part of the paper looked through available studies on human comfort in Vietnam. Moreover, international and national standards of thermal comfort conditions applied in designing residences were also reviewed. The insights of such studies findings show potential similarities or differences in applying in Vietnam’s context. Acquiring and understanding relevant knowledge and experience of human thermal conditions at both global and national levels is significant to find gaps in research and practice. Finally, 6 limitations were found. They will help policymakers, planners, and practitioners assess rightly the current quality and quantity of comfort studies, find the necessity of future research developments, and have new actions to improve and build a better practice environment in Vietnam, especially in designing and constructing good dwellings, that provide comfort, health, and well-being for residents, high performance and energy efficiency for buildings, and less impact on nature.
