An Eco‐Friendly and Multifunctional Textile Integrating Radiative Heating and Cooling for Large‐Temperature‐Variation Personal Thermal Management

Advanced Functional Materials
Radiative heating or cooling textiles offer a sustainable means for personal thermal management (PTM). However, textiles that can realize efficient PTM under both large indoor and outdoor temperature variations are still lacking. Herein, guided by a heat

Continuous and intermittent personal microclimate cooling strategies.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1995
A comparison was made between two personal auxiliary cooling approaches for the relief of thermal stress while wearing the standard USAF Chemical Defense Ensemble (CDE). Subjects exercised at approximately 40% VO2max in either warm (28/24/34 degrees C) or hot (38/26/43 degrees C) environmental conditions, (Tdb/Twb/Tbg degrees C, respectively).

Personal cooling system with phase change material

2020
Personal cooling systems (PCS) are attracting more attention recently since they can set back building thermostat setpoints to achieve energy savings and provide high-level human comfort by focusing on micro-environment conditions around occupants rather than the entire building space.

Personal protective equipment and personal cooling garments to reduce heat-related stress and injuries

Medico-Legal Journal, 2020
Use of appropriate personal protective equipment is essential for healthcare workers when dealing with patients who have tested positive or are suspected of having Covid-19. Personal protective equipment is uncomfortable at best. In hot countries (like India) or in a hot place of work, its wearers are at a high risk of heat-related illnesses.
