Abstract

Development of an appropriate thermal model contributes to economical savings and technological progress by minimizing extra cost and time for experimentation. This study made it possible to simulate various human responses, body temperatures and heat flows, to the different thermal environments without field experimentation. In addition to the temperature changes, effects of cloths were also evaluated in relation to changes in ambient temperatures.
