摘要：This article shows the experimental and numerical results of thermal comfort of two models of traditional habitats. The traditional habitat is bilobate and rectangular model. In the bilobate model, I obtained the following air temperatures by measurement: 29.6-31.6°C the day and 27.8-29.6°C at night. In the rectangular model the air temperature is among 28.7-30.7°C the day and 26.4-28.3°C at night. The numerical results indicate air temperatures to be between: 30.7-32.9°C the day and 28.8-30.7°C at night, in the bilobate model. In the rectangular model, the air temperature is between 29.6-31.9°C during the day and 27.3-29.7°C at night. This result indicates a thermal inertia in our two traditional habitats models. It has been determined that the air temperature in both two traditional habitat models is greater than the average external air temperatures. This can be explained by the presence of internal heat sources in the two traditional models of habitats. Nevertheless, these habitats models protect their occupants from sudden changes of temperature, which is already a condition of thermal comfort.
