With the accelerated development of subways in China, elevated subway stations (ESSs) capitalize on natural ventilation and lighting to significantly save energy. Nevertheless, their thermal environments are rarely addressed. This study conducts annual environment measurements, surveys, comfort analysis five typical ESS buildings. The results field measurements demonstrate that station’s is influenced by architectural space forms such as skylight ratio, platform doors, openness, form. standard effective temperature—predicted sensation (SET*—PTS) equation was developed based survey, indicating passengers’ adaptability surpasses PTS. In summer, neutral temperatures for passengers open enclosed 28.74 SET* °C 27.13 °C, correspondingly. winter, they 23.43 21.98 °C. Physiological changes experience during transition from entering metro station arriving at were measured quantified, which confirmed differences adaptation shift between hot cold environments, emphasizing delay accumulation effects. provides important guidance construction, renovation, operation buildings related standards.

Abstract Clothing is crucial in thermal comfort evaluation, affecting heat exchange between the body and environment. Assuming even clothing insulation across segments can lead to inaccurate predictions, building urban design strategies. This study processed data from 240 ensembles derive local values. Regression models were developed relate overall values, allowing fast estimation of distribution for any given value. To validate effectiveness values predicted by proposed methods, measured real-time skin temperatures collected field experiments compared with Results demonstrated a significant accuracy improvement temperature thermoregulation simulation combined methods. The Jaccard Similarity Coefficient (JSC) increased an average 0.21, like head, neck, shoulders, back, arms showing nearly 0.4 or more improvement. These determination functions, used multi-nodal model, offer simpler effective way enhance assessment accuracy. By providing precise these functions help optimize designs planning strategies, leading better occupants.
