The Effect of Short-Term and Long-Term Mental History on Thermal Comfort Perception(Case Study: Shiraz University Office Building)

Human beings need sufficient satisfaction in order to carry out their daily affairs. Satisfaction levels vary and can include personal, social, psychological, and physical factors. In recent years the role of thermal comfort has been highlighted due to the issue of climate change, global warming and the effects of heat island. So thermal comfort has been the basis of a lot of research in different countries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of past experience (consist of short-term and long-term background) on thermal comfort perception and choosing appropriate adaptation behavior. Field studies conducted in office building in January 2019, for 4 days for gathering 108 questioners to help the authors to find the relationship between physiological factors and thermal respondence. The results show that short-term and long-term experiences can affect one's thermal responses, in particular, thermal preference. The authors try to show the weight of each factor based on statistical analysis such as correlation and logistic regression.Human beings need sufficient satisfaction in order to carry out their daily affairs.
