Since twentieth century scholars all of the world have studied on the indoor thermal environment , this paper first summarizes in detail on thermal environment and thermal comfort , air - conditioning mode and energy conservation , thermal environment judge , simulation and emulation , environment physiology , preventive medicine , hygienics and epidemiology , garment etc of native and foreign countries ’ research status in quo . it introduces the mature achievement of human and environment heat transfer model , thermal environment evaluating indicators and comfort influence factors , standards of thermal comfort of the indoor environment , and some of which are researched in defence such as the thermal environment of aviation module or warship cabin of the psychologic and physiological influence on soldiers . so this paper still discusses human psychologic and physiological mechanics in thermal environment 自20世纪以来,各国的学者纷纷对室内热环境进行了研究,本文首先较为详细地综述了国内外热环境与热舒适,空调方式和节能,评判、模拟与仿真,环境生理学、预防医学、卫生学、流行病学,服装学等方面的研究现状,介绍了人体与环境传热模型、热环境评价指标、影响热舒适的因素、室内环境热舒适的标准等方面比较成熟的研究成果,研究中不乏有用于国防研究的特定热环境(如航空舱、军舰舱)对士兵生理和心理方面的影响,因此本文还阐述了有关在热环境下人体生理和心理反应的机理。
