This study, leverages the Living Lab research platform to explore the variances in thermal comfort between dynamic and static activities in garden spaces during autonomous activity states. Volunteers participated by completing thermal comfort questionnaires in the Living Lab's garden area. Through monitoring and observation of participants’ activity states during survey completion, autonomous activities were categorized into static and dynamic activities, and the results and behavioral data of the two groups were analyzed comparatively. Spanning nine months, the study analyzed the impact of activity levels on garden thermal comfort and seasonal thermal adaptability. The findings reveal: 1) The neutral temperature for participants in garden spaces is highest in summer and lowest in winter, with dynamic activities having a lower neutral temperature than static activities, the largest difference observed in winter; 2) Dynamic activities have lower thermal sensitivity compared to static activities; 3) In thermal neutral and warm environments, the comfort level of dynamic activities is similar to static activities, but in colder environments, dynamic activities are more likely to feel comfortable; 4) Attendance for static activities in the garden is more susceptible to changes in the thermal environment compared to dynamic activities.

摘要

This study, leverages the Living Lab research platform to explore the variances in thermal comfort between dynamic and static activities in garden spaces during autonomous activity states. Volunteers participated by completing thermal comfort questionnaires in the Living Lab's garden area. Through monitoring and observation of participants’ activity states during survey completion, autonomous activities were categorized into static and dynamic activities, and the results and behavioral data of the two groups were analyzed comparatively. Spanning nine months, the study analyzed the impact of activity levels on garden thermal comfort and seasonal thermal adaptability. The findings reveal: 1) The neutral temperature for participants in garden spaces is highest in summer and lowest in winter, with dynamic activities having a lower neutral temperature than static activities, the largest difference observed in winter; 2) Dynamic activities have lower thermal sensitivity compared to static activities; 3) In thermal neutral and warm environments, the comfort level of dynamic activities is similar to static activities, but in colder environments, dynamic activities are more likely to feel comfortable; 4) Attendance for static activities in the garden is more susceptible to changes in the thermal environment compared to dynamic activities.
