本研究は、近代木造建築物における室内温熱環境と温熱快適性に関する研究を系統的にレビューした。木造建築はコンクリート構造と比較して、温度応答が速く、湿度緩衝能力が高く、断熱性能に優れ、相対湿度を快適範囲に維持できることが示された。一方、夏季の過熱や高温多湿条件下でのカビ発生リスクなどの課題も指摘された。また、PMVモデルは木造建築の温熱快適性評価に適さず、木材の吸放湿特性と居住者の心理的適応を考慮した較正が必要である。
English
This systematic review synthesizes research on indoor hygrothermal environments and thermal comfort in modern timber buildings. Key findings include rapid temperature response, strong humidity buffering, and superior insulation compared to concrete, keeping relative humidity in the comfortable range. However, challenges like summer overheating and mold risk under hot-humid conditions persist. The PMV model shows significant predictive deviation, requiring calibration with timber's hygrothermal properties and occupants' psychological adaptation.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Against the global backdrop of carbon neutrality and the green transition of the construction sector, modern timber-framed buildings have emerged as a core enabler of sustainable construction. However, a systematic synthesis of research on indoor hygrothermal environments and thermal comfort in such buildings remains lacking, and the underlying coupling mechanisms—as well as pathways for performance optimization—are still insufficiently understood. To address these gaps, this study aims to systematically characterize and evaluate the performance features of indoor thermal and moisture environments in modern timber buildings, and to identify the key influencing factors and their underlying mechanisms. In accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines for systematic reviews, this study identified and analyzed 203 high-quality peer-reviewed publications retrieved from three major academic databases, covering the period 2010–2025. Specifically, the literature search was conducted across the Web of Science, Scopus, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and visualization analysis was performed using VOSviewer 1.6.20 software. The results indicate that timber-framed buildings exhibit distinctive indoor hygrothermal characteristics: rapid temperature response, strong humidity buffering capacity, and superior thermal insulation performance compared with concrete structures, enabling indoor relative humidity to remain stably within the thermally comfortable range. Nevertheless, challenges persist, including summer overheating and elevated risks of mold growth under hot-humid conditions. Furthermore, the PMV model demonstrates significant predictive deviation for thermal comfort in timber-framed buildings; its application thus requires calibration incorporating both the hygrothermal properties of timber materials and occupants’ psychological adaptation. This study synthesizes the current state of research, identifies key influencing factors, and proposes climate-responsive optimization strategies to advance the development of robust thermal comfort models and support the low-energy, high-comfort design of timber-framed buildings.
