Thermal comfort

2018
The processes of thermoregulation are roughly divided into two categories: autonomic and behavioral. Behavioral thermoregulation alone does not have the capacity to regulate core temperature, as autonomic thermoregulation. However, behavioral thermoregulation is often utilized to maintain core temperature in a normal environment and is critical for ...

Thermal Stress and Thermal Comfort

Ergonomics, 1973
The 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.

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 ...

Dynamic thermal environment and thermal comfort

Indoor Air, 2015
Research has shown that a stable thermal environment with tight temperature control cannot bring occupants more thermal comfort. Instead, such an environment will incur higher energy costs and produce greater CO2 emissions. Furthermore, this may lead to the degeneration of occupants' inherent ability to combat thermal stress, thereby weakening thermal ...

Thermal comfort in practice

Indoor Air, 2004
Since the early twentieth century when air-conditioning began penetrating the market in a serious way, there has been a need for human factors research upon which HVAC engineering practice could be based. Now we have nearly a century of thermal comfort research from climate chambers and much has been learnt in that time.

Thermal Comfort Indices

2004
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 ...
