Thermal sensation and cell adaptability [PDF]

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2013
Whole person adaptive comfort is discussed with reference to recent findings in molecular scale systems biology. The observations are upscaled to hypotheses relating to less traditional interpretations of thermal processes, which have new implications for indoor climate management and design.

Thermal sensation and comfort in transient non-uniform thermal environments [PDF]

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004
Most existing thermal comfort models are applicable only to steady-state, uniform thermal environments. This paper presents summary results from 109 human tests that were performed under non-uniform and transient conditions. In these tests, local body areas were independently heated or cooled while the rest of the body was exposed to a warm, neutral or

Neutral thermal sensation or dynamic thermal comfort? Numerical and field test analysis of a thermal chair [PDF]

, 2017
Neutral thermal sensation is considered as the measure of thermal comfort in research, as when participants report feeling neutral regarding the thermal environment, they are considered as thermally comfortable.

Study on prediction model of thermal sensation under local draft in low pressure environment [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2022
Local draft experiments were conducted to establish the overall thermal sensation prediction model under low pressure environment. Head, chest, hand, and ankle were exposed to local airflow under three pressure environments: 1 atm, 0.87 atm, and 0.74 atm,
