Thermal Stress and Thermal Comfort
Ergonomics, 1973The factors which determine the level of heat stress and the difficulties inherent in its measurement are discussed. The degree of thermal comfort or discomfort is shown to he a useful measure of thermal stress and methods for the determination of the preferred temperature are described.

The Thermal Comfort of Sedentary Workers [PDF]
Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health, 1987 Two hundred and eighty-five Office workers were surveyed and the micro-climatic conditions in which they worked were measured to evaluate their preferred temperature. About 78% of workers considered the natural tropical climate uncomfortable. However, 76% to 87% of workers in airconditioned Offices approved of their thermal environment if its ...

Applied Ergonomics, 1973
This guide provides a simple design procedure for dealing with the requirements for a comfortable thermal environment. From the expected activity level and clothing insulation of the people concerned, a subjective temperature is calculated which will provide thermal comfort.

Indoor Air, 1995
The mean skin temperatures as well as the temperatures of the hands, feet and forehead of small children were measured in nurseries at air temperatures of 20 degrees C and 22 degrees C. Differences were studied between babies remaining still, babies crawling on tiling, wooden floors or rubber foam groundsheets and older walking children.

Journal of Consumer Studies & Home Economics, 1980
The thermal conditions required for comfort in the indoor environment have stimulated much research. Results of this research have both elucidated the physiological mechanisms which determine what conditions are comfortable as well as defining the combinations of physical variables which constitute these.

Publisher Summary Thermal comfort is primarily controlled by a building's heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems, though the architectural design of the building may also have significant influences on thermal comfort. This chapter discusses the seven factors that influence thermal comfort and why thermal comfort depends on the individual ...

International standards give criteria for thermal comfort based on the evaluation of room temperatures and their deviation from the comfort temperature. The static approach to thermal comfort is derived from the physics of heat transfer and combined with an empirical fit to sensation.

Thermal Comfort in the Home [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of this chapter is to investigate ways in which the comfort levels in traditional Humli housing might be improved using simple, low cost strategies. As building homes is an integral part of people’s lives and culture, they inherently are part of a HCD program.

Numerous indices for the assessment and design of thermal comfort conditions have been developed during the past 50 to 60 years. One of the most widely used indices in moderate thermal environments, the PMV index (predicted mean vote), predicts the mean value of the overall thermal sensation of a large group of persons as a function of activity ...

The perception of thermal comfort
International Journal of Biometeorology, 196526 subjects were exposed either to constant temperature in a water bath or to different air temperatures. A differentiation was made between the comfort temperature and the conscious cutaneous thermal sensation.When thermal sensation of the hand was tested for different internal temperatures it was found that the same superficial (skin) temperature ...
