In summer, when people arrive indoors after commuting, they will experience transients in metabolic rate and environment temperature. This makes the occupants who just arrive indoors feel too warm and uncomfortable at neutral temperatures. Therefore, it is necessary to study the thermal comfort requirements of human after commuting. Thirty subjects were asked to perform four levels of exercise (sedentary-SE, low speed-LS, medium speed-MS, high speed-HS) for 20 min at 25, 30 and 33 °C to simulate commuting activities, and then entered a temperature adjustable room to sit sedentary for 50 min. The physiological responses, human thermal responses, and environmental parameters corresponding to different experimental cases were studied to obtain the recovery time of the thermal neutral state and the optimal comfort temperature ranges. The results show that the average recovery time of physiological responses and human thermal responses was 38% lower than that in the room with the recommended temperature of 26 °C by subjects adjusting the indoor air temperature. Commuting activities significantly reduced the thermal neutral temperatures of subjects. For example, after exercising at 30 °C, the thermal neutral temperatures of SE, LS, MS, and HS were 24.6, 24.3, 23.8, and 22.8 °C, respectively. Within 50 min after exercising, the acceptable temperature range for 80% of the subjects in the states of SE, LS, MS, and HS was 24.6–27.3 °C, 24.3–27.1 °C, 23.8–26.0 °C, and 22.8–25.8 °C, respectively. This study provides references for enhancing occupants' satisfaction with thermal environments and optimizing the indoor environments.

在夏季，人们通勤后到达室内时，会经历新陈代谢率和环境温度的瞬变。这使得刚到达室内的居住者在中性温度下感到太热和不舒服。因此，有必要研究人类通勤后的热舒适需求。要求 30 名受试者在 25、30 和 33 °C 下进行 4 个级别的运动（久坐-SE、低速-LS、中速-MS、高速-HS）20 分钟以模拟通勤活动，然后进入一个温度可调房间久坐50分钟。研究了不同实验案例对应的生理反应、人体热反应和环境参数，以获得热中性状态的恢复时间和最佳舒适温度范围。结果表明，受试者调节室内空气温度，生理反应和人体热反应的平均恢复时间比建议温度26°C的房间低38%。通勤活动显着降低了受试者的热中性温度。例如，在 30 °C 下运动后，SE、LS、MS 和 HS 的热中性温度分别为 24.6、24.3、23.8 和 22.8 °C。运动后 50 分钟内，SE、LS、MS 和 HS 状态下 80% 的受试者可接受的温度范围为 24.6–27.3 °C、24.3–27.1 °C、23.8–26.0 °C 和 22.8–分别为 25.8 °C。本研究为提高居住者对热环境的满意度和优化室内环境提供参考。
