Visiting Scholar, Tsinghua University
Yijia Wang is a PhD candidate at Department of Building Science, Tsinghua University. Her research focuses on airflow and thermal comfort, aiming to improve thermal comfort using airflow while enhancing building energy efficiency.
Her core work investigates how airflow characteristics, including velocity, temperature, fluctuation frequency, amplitude, direction and other dynamic characteristics influence human thermal sensation and comfort. She aims to establish a more precise thermal comfort model for dynamic airflow conditions, and develop an integrated framework for environmental parameter monitoring, real-time comfort prediction, and automated indoor environment regulation. She has also conducted a systematic review and analysis of thermal comfort field studies across China, synthesizing 324 publications to construct a comprehensive dataset covering diverse climate zones, building types, urban/rural regions, and seasonal conditions, revealing typical condition of indoor thermal environments in China.
