Abstract
The aim of the present study is to clarify the actual conditions of indoor thermal environment with building materials, which built after 1980 years in urban areas of Zhejiang Province. In this paper, the investigations about building characteristics and indoor thermal environment were carried out in Hangjiahu Plain, Zhenan hills and mountains etc. The results show that the wall materials of the most residential buildings are clay solid bricks, the most windows type is aluminum alloy, and the most buildings are uninsulated. In summer, over half of the air- conditions operate more than 6 hours in residential buildings. The indoor thermal comfort is strongly affected by thermal performance of windows.
