Study on Xiamen’s Spring and Winter Thermal Comfort of Outdoor Sports Space in the Residential Community

In humid subtropical areas, outdoor sports activities in winter and spring are very common. However, there is minimal research surrounding this topic, especially terms of thermal comfort. This study explored the complex relationship between microclimate human comfort during various types through a series experiments analysis. The results indicated that (1) spring, WBGT threshold for space was 14.6–21.7 °C; (2) ranges when doing low-, moderate- high-intensity physical were 13.7–26.2 °C, 14.5–24.0 16.0–22.0 (3) air temperature (Ta), G (global radiation) relative humidity (RH) main influencing factors, which varied from intensities activities; (4) winter, it more comfortable to be slightly warm, while neutral; (5) ground materials, sunshine vegetation coverage had significant impact on adjusting Ta; (6) addition comfort, factors such as time, weather, variety quantity spaces facilities, high visual good accessibility, strong safety, regular maintenance facilities sharing level all major (7) semi-outdoor with roofs should considered next spaces.
