| description | The emphasis on field surveys from around the world, which focuses on hot and
humid countries, enables us to understand thermal perception and evaluate outdoor
thermal comfort conditions. Focusing on the thermal comfort perception level between
individuals, it tries to explain how this influences the outdoor activities time and their
actions to improve their comfort level at outdoor area. This research function is to
identify the thermal comfort perception acceptance level, best condition for thermal
comfort and future improvement of thermal comfort perception. Beyond acclimatization
and behavioral adaptation, through adjustments in clothing and changes to the metabolic
heat, psychological adaptation plays a critical role to ensure thermal comfort and
satisfaction with the outdoor environment. Such parameters include recent personal
experiences and expectations; personal choice and perceived control, more important
than whether that control is actually exercised, and the need for positive environmental
stimulation suggesting that thermal neutrality is not a pre-requisite for thermal comfort.
This study has been done on cohort in Petaling Jaya. By using surveys form to verify
the difference of thermal comfort perception between individuals. Different individual
have different thermal comfort perception level. Some of it is due to physical difference,
other either psychological difference. Thermal comfort level is varies but still have
similarities for majorities of respondent. The consistent low correlations between
objective microclimatic variables, subjective thermal sensation and comfort outdoors,
internationally, suggest that the difference in individual thermal perception brings us to
search for ideal outdoor thermal comfort perception. |
