In this research, we investigated the quantitative effect of bathing on the heat loss of hot water in the bathtub and thermal storage of the human body through experiment and simulation using 65-Node thermoregulation-Model applied to bathing. In the experiment, three subjects took a bath four times, with temperature of their tympanic membrane and hot water measured. It turned out that about 700-1200kJ of heat is lost from hot water in the bathtub and about 400-650kJ of heat is charged in human body by twenty minutes bathing.
In this research, we investigated living style of residents, visualization facilities and energy consumption in houses which were built as leading projects by promotion program for CO2 emission reduction projects of MLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism).
In this research, an evaluation method of health performance of detached house utilizing CASBEE Housing Health Checklist is proposed. Score on the warmth in CASBEE Housing Health Checklist is calculated from the temperatures that are simulated in the previous case study using a heat load simulation. The method to calculate the score from temperatures is based on other studies about thermal sensation, health, dwelling performance and so on. Using this score on the warmth, it is possible to predict the crisis rate of catching a cold in winter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
