Discussion

This analysis reveals summer thermal conditions in Guanzhong rural homes, indicating spatial configuration significantly affects comfort.

Results show improved PMV in second-floor rooms with better ventilation, enhancing summer comfort.
Long-term meteorological data and field measurements validate the PMV findings in rural dwellings.
Enlarging window openings benefits PMV only with existing cross-ventilation paths, influencing adjacent areas.
Practical strategies like reallocating room positions and shading enhance comfort without invasive construction.

Xie et al. (2025) studied this question.
