Performance and Thermal Comfort

Ergonomics, 1971
This experiment attempts to establish an objective measure of thermal comfort. A theoretical explanation of the relationship between performance and comfort is given and is represented in terms of an hypothesis. A total of 50 subjects was divided among five groups, each group experiencing one temperature in the range 15.6-26.7°C (60-80°F) for both air ...
