Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the effect of streaming water surface on the indoor thermal environment, measurements of the indoor thermal environment in summer and winter were conducted on a Kawabata in Yokokawa settlement, Shichikashuku town, Miyagi prefecture. As a result, a representative point in the Kawabata room during the day was affected by the outside temperature and solar radiation, the indoor thermal environment was hotter than the outside temperature in both summer and winter. On the other hand, a relatively cool environment in summer and a warm environment in winter were formed near the floor and streaming water surface in the Kawabata room. It was pointed out that due to the influence of the streaming water surface, which is relatively cool in summer and warm in winter, it may prevent the freezing of ripened pickles, especially in winter.
