In order to understand the current indoor thermal environment of the expressway service area in Qinling Mountains, field measurements were conducted by using the Relative Warmth Index (RWI) and questionnaires were dished out, whereby their thermal environments were evaluated comprehensively. It turns out that the thermal neutral temperature of expressway service area in Qinling Mountains of China is 25.02°C(SET*). The thermal acceptable range of 22.39-28.36 °C(SET*) and the thermal comfortable range of 24.60-27.60 °C(SET*) are derived from 80% of the acceptable and comfortable criteria.
