Abstract:

 To assist decision-makers in selecting the best solutions and arriving at better solutions for temporary shelter and to identify key issues related to temporary shelter methods and provide some principles and recommendations, this study presented a theoretical investigation into the measurement of thermal comfort in standard relief tents in cold climates. The results were analysed and compared using the CBE MRT and CBE Thermal Comfort tools based on field-measured values inside a tent from December 2024 to February 2025. The results on 11, 13, 14 and 18 December 2024, were selected to avoid repetition. Thermal comfort is a key factor in the design and use of tents in cold regions because of its direct impact on the safety and well-being of occupants. Factors affecting the thermal comfort of tents in cold weather include insulation, ventilation, clothing and heating. This study was applied in nature and was conducted using a descriptive analytical approach. Data were collected using library and documentation methods. This study provides important indicators in the field of thermal comfort, particularly in the design of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. These environmental and individual factors influence the relationship between the predicted population mean vote and the predicted dissatisfaction rate. On the basis of these factors, the study helps measure human indoor thermal comfort and determine the influencing factors in each case to reach the desired conclusions while emphasising that the tents did not provide suitable thermal conditions for their inhabitants until they were treated using an experimental model.
