While previous research has explored factors influencing point-in-time thermal comfort,the mechanisms behind long-term thermal comfort remain elusive.This study utilized cognitive psychology theory to identify factors influencing long-term thermal comfort through statistical analyses of surveys across China and physical measurements in three Shanghai offices.Six of the 17 investigated factors exhibited strong linear relationships with long-term thermal comfort.The findings confirmed the existence of the Primacy Effect,Perceptual Bias,Recency Bias,and Peak-End Rule in long-term thermal evaluation,highlighting the impact of initial perceptions,past adverse experiences,and current comfort levels on one's long-term thermal comfort.The study also indicated that these cognitive biases are primarily psychological and independent of the physical environment.Factors such as age,gender,climate,and controllability,which affect short-term thermal comfort,did not significantly impact long-term comfort.This research is one of the earliest attempts to understand long-term thermal comfort,underscoring its complexity and providing valuable insights for building managers and researchers aiming to enhance thermal comfort in office settings.
