This paper reviews the published literature on indoor thermal environment and air quality in Chinese‐style residential kitchens (CRKs). The paper first discusses typical characteristics of CRKs, including kitchen layout, cooking methods, and ventilation systems used. Next, the paper describes the current state of the indoor thermal environment and air quality in CRKs. Finally, this paper summarizes measures to control and improve the environment inside CRKs. The results indicate that the indoor environment of CRKs is too hot in summer and exhibits a large vertical temperature difference. No appropriate model was available for accurately evaluating the thermal environment in CRKs. At the same time, CRKs are highly polluted by COx, NOx, TVOC, and particulate matter (PM). Although existing exhaust hoods could improve the indoor environment to some extent, the use of a combined exhaust, make‐up air, and air‐conditioning system should be considered to provide a comfortable and healthy environment in CRKs.

中式住宅厨房的室内热环境和空气质量。

本文回顾了有关中式住宅厨房（CRKs）室内热环境和空气质量的已发表文献。本文首先讨论了CRK的典型特征，包括厨房布局，烹饪方法和所用的通风系统。接下来，本文描述了CRK的室内热环境和空气质量的当前状态。最后，本文总结了控制和改善CRK内部环境的措施。结果表明，CRKs的室内环境夏季炎热，垂直温差大。没有合适的模型可用于准确评估CRK的热环境。同时，CRK被COx，NOx，TVOC和颗粒物（PM）高度污染。
