  • Abstract
The field test and questionnaire survey were carried out in the departure lounge at the railway stations in Changsha and Shanghai which were typical cities in hot summer and cold winter zone. Thermal sense vote (TSV), thermal neutral temperature and acceptable temperature range were studied. It was shown that the response of passengers to thermal environment was different. The thermal neutral temperature was 27 ℃ and acceptable temperature range was 23.8~30.2 ℃.The passengers' TSV did not keep at the initial value. Instead, it increased with the increase of waiting time and the growing rate depended on the difference of indoor outdoor temperature.
