【 摘 要 】

Thermal comfort is a mean of being satisfied with the thermal environment. A study was conducted in the field to assess thermal comfort perception for the residents in a naturally ventilated residential building in Malaysia. The objective of this study was to find out whether the residents are thermally comfortable in buildings without the use of air-conditionings. The result showed that the residents are generally satisfied (i.e. comfortable) with the thermal environment, even though their thermal sensation was outside the central three categories of ASHRAE standard, which reflects their acclimatization to the local hot and humid climate.
