ABSTRACT

With the development of social economy, people put forward higher requirements for thermal comfort of living environment, and more and more air-conditioning equipment are installed in Kunming residential building. In spring, how different is the thermal environment of the top floor of residential building compared with other floors in Kunming? In this paper, the temperature, humidity, wind speed in the main rooms of the top building and of the houses below the top floor and outdoor solar radiation are tested in the faculty District of Kunming Agricultural University. The data analysis shows that the thermal environment of the top-floor residential buildings in Kunming is worse than that of below the top floor. The temperature and humidity of the top floor are higher than those of below the top floor, but there is no significant difference in wind speed. At the same time, it is pointed out that good roof insulation design is of great significance in improving energy-saving design and thermal environment of the top floor in dwelling in Kunming.
