Abstract: Indoor thermal performance of enclosed large-span membrane stadiums is essential for evaluation of temperature characteristics and thermal comfort. The spatial- and time- dependent characteristics due to fluctuating solar irradiance suggest that theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are hard to obtain detailed and typical building performance. For this reason, field measurement is a feasible way to investigate indoor temperature characteristics and thermal comfort of enclosed large-span membrane stadiums. In this paper, a series of winter and summer experiments with respect to spatial location and time are carried out to measure temperature distribution under unconditioned empty stadium conditions, which are then utilized to assess thermal comfort with a revised PMV-PPD method.
