The indoor human thermal comfort (HTC) was investigated in residences located in the Pelotas City, southern Brazil, by the effective temperature index (ETI). In this study, temperature and relative humidity were measured inside 429 houses, located in different regions of Pelotas city, from January 11 to August 27, 2019. Samples were obtained using HOBO data loggers, indoor sensors, installed in different regions of the municipality, in the context of a cohort study of children between 2 and 4 years old and their respective mothers, led by Epidemiological Research Center of the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPEL). In general, all regions had average hourly values of effective temperature index above the comfort zone in summer and below the comfort zone in the winter. In terms of spatial variability, the indoor HTC was dependent on environmental factors such as lake breeze and indoor behavior factors, such as the use of air conditioning system in the downtown buildings.
本研究通过有效温度指数(ETI)对巴西南部城市佩洛塔斯(Pelotas)的居民住宅室内热舒适(HTC)进行了研究。在这项研究中,于 2019 年 1 月 11 日至 8 月 27 日在佩洛塔斯市的不同地区测量了 429 所房屋内的温度和相对湿度。样本是使用 HOBO 数据记录仪采集的,室内传感器安装在该市的不同地区,这是由联邦大学佩洛塔斯流行病学研究中心(UFPEL)领导的对 2 至 4 岁儿童及其母亲的队列研究的一部分。总体而言,夏季所有地区的有效温度指数小时平均值均高于舒适区,而冬季低于舒适区。就空间可变性而言,室内 HTC 取决于环境因素,例如湖风以及室内行为因素,例如市区建筑物中空调系统的使用。
