Overview

Systematic review reveals tropical climates require different thermal comfort standards, suggesting adaptive behaviors are key.

Key Points

  • Thermal comfort is essential for health and productivity in residential buildings, especially in tropical regions.
  • Standard thermal comfort models often fail to predict actual occupant comfort levels in warm, humid environments.
  • In-situ measurements show occupants prefer higher temperatures than suggested by current standards, highlighting adaptive comfort needs.
  • The review emphasizes the need for context-specific guidelines to address the unique climate challenges and cultural factors in tropical residences.
