Abstract

This article reports on a study conducted to investigate thermal comfort in residential houses in Chhattisgarh,renowned as the heart of rural India. The study used an online and of-fline questionnaire to assess thermal comfort in different climate regions year-round. The questionnaire evaluated the impact of temperature, humidity, and ventilation on thermal com-fort. 2702 valid questionnaires were collected from respondents in different areas during win-ter, summer, and monsoon seasons. The results showed that those living in rural areas and Kutch houses(mud houses) reported higher comfort levels than those living in urban areas or pucca houses (brick houses) during summer and monsoon seasons. The study also revealed that people in Chhattisgarh experience discomfort during the summer season, with residents in Raipur reporting more discomfort than those in other areas. The report highlights the need for specific thermal comfort standards for urban and rural areas in Chhattisgarh.
