Abstract

In order to improve the design effect of venues, this paper establishes the evaluation model of indoor thermal comfort for the humid and hot subtropical areas, which provides theoretical reference for venue design. This paper investigates the thermal sensation of basketball players by questionnaire, analyzes the relation-ship between thermal sensation vote and standard effective temperature, predicted mean vote, and wet bulb globe temperature, and develops an index called predicted thermal sensation by using the least square method. The relationship between outdoor air temperature and indoor working temperature under neutral conditions is obtained by measuring data. The results show that the correlation between thermal sensation vote and air temperature is the strongest, R2 is 0.753, while the relationship between thermal sensation vote and air speed is weak, R2 is 0.012. Thermal sensation vote and set, predicted mean vote and wet bulb globe temperature are not suitable for athletes in the field environment.
