Thermal comfort in temporary buildings: A review
Abstract Temporary buildings are crucial for social development. A better understanding of the thermal comfort in temporary buildings can yield strategies to improve the physical and mental health of users and improve energy efficiency. A total of 105 papers were screened for in-depth evaluation of research on the thermal comfort of temporary buildings. Here, we discuss the factors influencing thermal comfort in temporary buildings. Moreover, strategies are proposed for improving the thermal comfort of temporary buildings in the future. Most papers showed that users were not satisfied with the thermal environment of temporary buildings. There was a gap between the PMV-PPD model and the results of field studies for predicting the thermal comfort of temporary buildings. The neutral temperature of the temporary buildings varied in different climate zones. Improvements to the envelope performance were key to thermal comfort optimization of the temporary buildings in different climate zones. Especially, the application of PCM has been emphasized in most studies.
Highlights A total of 584 papers were searched and 105 articles were screened for deep review. The factors affecting thermal comfort of temporary buildings and improvement measures were discussed. Important to consider data collection methods, models, and standards for thermal comfort of temporary buildings. The key findings of thermal comfort optimization of temporary buildings were summarized.
