dc.description.abstract	The reaction of thermoregulation systems in animal experiments was studied. By measuring the levels of dopamine in rats, we found that the rats' thermal neutral zone ranges from 27°C to 28°C. Similarly, there is also a thermal neutral zone in the thermoregulated center of humans. Based on a long-term survey in Shanghai, the neutral temperature for occupants was determined and the relationship between neutral temperature and relative humidity was studied	en
