摘要:This paper presents the results of outdoor thermal comfort research conducted in a public square ofCampo Grande (hot-humid climate) during hot and cold seasons. The objective is to compare thepredictive ability of the following indices: Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), UniversalThermal Climate Index (UTCI), Perceived Equivalent Temperature (TEP), Sense of Thermal Comfort(YDS), and Predicted Mean Vote (PMV). To obtain necessary data, micrometeorological measurementsand questionnaire surveys were performed simultaneously during field campaigns. We found that apurely physiological approach was insufficient in the assessment, as the selected indices did notefficiently predict the thermal sensation votes of the locals. PET and UTCI had relatively satisfactoryperformances, but regional calibration was necessary. Acquired subjective votes enabled the proposal ofPET calibration (comfort range 21-27 °C PET). Based on the adjusted thermal scale (63% accuracy),discomfort hours were estimated. Results provided by this study can help landscape architects and urbanplanners define specific design guidelines for urban open spaces of Campo Grande.
