Dataset for "Combined multi-attribute inpatient thermal comfort requirements in hospitals: A designer's assessment method"

Hospital Environmental Appraisal for Thermal-comfort (HEAT) is an evidence-based design tool created based on 52 pieces of research evidence that seeks to enhance decision-making related to patient thermal comfort (PTC) issues in inpatient wards. The framework of the tool is based on eight essential design domains that are; design flexibility, coordination, thermal adaptation, temperature ranges, activity level, external shading, building monitoring and airstream. Eight non-technical statements are driven from design domains to address common PTC issues. Hence, each statement provides a list of design recommendations to inform a variety of solutions that would be considered at several design phases.

医院环境热舒适性评估工具（HEAT）是一种基于实证设计理念，依托52项研究证据而构建的工具，旨在提升与住院患者热舒适性（PTC）问题相关的决策制定。该工具框架立足于八个核心设计领域，包括设计灵活性、协调性、热适应性、温度范围、活动水平、外部遮阳、建筑监控和气流。由此，八个非技术性陈述从设计领域出发，针对常见的PTC问题进行阐述。因此，每个陈述均提供了一系列设计建议，以供在设计各个阶段考虑多种解决方案时参考。
