A Review on the Method of Field Measurement at Fixed Points for Outdoor Thermal Environment

Abstract

Field measurement is a major method for studying issues related to the outdoor thermal environment. Through accurate acquisition and objective analysis of the measured data, the rule of dynamic physical parameters can be obtained. This paper analyzes the outdoor thermal environment researches carried out in China and overseas in recent years and puts the emphasis on field measurement at fixed points. Conclusions include a summary of three types of arrangement methods of measuring points based on multi-variable control method, pre-analysis method and lumped parameter method. Besides, two types of ways to improve the reliability of measurement results are also given. Finally, relevant suggestions for the future standardization for measuring methods of outdoor thermal environment are put forward.
