Abstract

Considerable research has been undertaken on indoor thermal comfort. However, due to the uneven economic development between rural and urban areas, the rural residential environment has always lagged behind urban areas. Research on thermal comfort in rural areas has not received much attention. As a result of economic and quality of life improvements, residents’ demand for thermal comfort in their living environment has gradually increased in rural areas. This chapter reviews 91 existing field research papers on thermal comfort in rural dwellings, reviews the research in different climatic zones and summarises the current status and shortcomings of research to provide helpful information for future research.
