Local thermal unpleasantness and discomfort prediction in the vicinity of thermoneutrality
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004This work emphasizes a better understanding of the origin of human thermal discomfort under heterogeneous but steady environments, in subjects in the vicinity of physiological and sensory thermoneutrality. The knowledge of skin temperatures allows a psychophysiological study aiming at linking the body thermal state (local and global) to thermal ...

Sensitivity and Discomfort Associated with Overhead Thermal Radiation
Ergonomics, 1977Abstract One hundred ond forty-eight subjects each experienced one of four levels of overhead radiation, up to a maximum ceiling temperature of 45°C. The degree of asymmetry is characterized by the vector radiant temperature (v.r.t.); the four levels were 0, 5, 9 and 14 K.

Laptop Heat and Models of User Thermal Discomfort
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2014The heat from some laptop computers has resulted in reports of toasted skin syndrome and even skin burns. Although standards exist to limit the maximum temperature of electronic devices to prevent skin burns, few studies have been done on the thermal discomfort associated with laptop heat production.

Optimization Under Uncertainty of Thermal Storage-Based Flexible Demand Response With Quantification of Residential Users’ Discomfort [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2015 This paper presents a two-stage stochastic programming model for provision of flexible demand response (DR) based on thermal energy storage in the form of hot water storage and/or storage in building material.

The influence of the vapour permeability of clothing on thermal discomfort
1989Generally, in problems concerning thermal comfort or heat stress, the vapor resistance of clothing is neglected, although two moisture permeability indices have been introduced and measured for some fabrics or clothing. Only recently has a model begun to be used which utilizes one of the two indices.

Determination of Climatic Work Conditions—Thermal Discomfort Index
2018Climatic conditions in underground mines and other plants depend on climate, kind and intensity of work (metabolic rate), clothing and acclimatization. The thermal discomfort index “δ” is the parameter which evaluates these conditions. The paper presents its definition and tables including metabolic ratios and thermal insulation of miners’ clothing ...
