Abstract

The purpose of this study is to classify the language used for the evaluation of warmth and comfort by seasonal language and to derive how the category width and distribution of the scale differ according to differences in linguistic translation as a result of surveying respondents. This study was conducted through multiple-choice questions to select one option and a free positioning method. As a result of the analysis, there was a difference in the response tendency of occupants according to the thermal sensation vote (TSV), which was derived to affect the responses of comfort sensation vote (CSV), thermal preference (TP), and thermal acceptance (TA). In the case of ‘warm’ and ‘cool’, which consisted of the most frequently used adjectives in summer, the language barrier was relatively low, and in the case of ‘slightly hot’ and ‘cool’, which consisted of the most frequently used adjectives in winter, it was difficult to obtain language synergy. As of October, when the experiment was conducted, it is judged that the thermal comfort of the occupants can be better reflected if the survey is conducted with the W-type, which is often used in winter.
