Optimizing Kang-to-Room Area Ratios for Thermal Comfort in Traditional Chinese Architecture: An Empirical and Simulation-Based Approach

Traditional Chinese Kang heating systems have been used for over two millennia in northern China, yet their thermal efficiency and optimal design parameters lack scientific validation. This study aims to establish evidence-based guidelines for Kang-to-room area ratios to enhance thermal comfort and...
