“…During a cricket practice or game, higher levels of air velocity and body motion will increase the convective and evaporative heat loss from the player's body. In fact, several reports show that heat transfer through clothing ensembles is significantly affected by body and air movement (Mccullough and Hong, 1992;McCullough, 1993;Nilsson et al, 1998;Havenith et al, 2002;Qian and Fan, 2006). The static values presented in this paper may imply an overestimation of the actual insulation, whereby the actual heat loss may be greater.…”

“…In a cold environment, more heat is lost from the body via conduction, convection and radiation, so high thermal insulation of the clothing system is required to maintain the body under thermal equilibrium conditions. Air velocity affects the sensible heat exchange between the body and the environment as well as the evaporative heat exchange Parsons et al 1999;Qian and Fan 2006). Relative humidity directly influences the evaporative heat transfer between the human body surface and the environment.…”

Six models for determining air temperatures for thermal comfort of people using sleeping bags were reviewed. These models were based on distinctive metabolic rates and mean skin temperatures. All model predictions of air temperatures are low when the insulation values of the sleeping bag are high. Nevertheless, prediction variations are greatest for the sleeping bags with high insulation values, and there is a high risk of hypothermia if an inappropriate sleeping bag is chosen for the intended conditions of use. There is, therefore, a pressing need to validate the models by wear trial and determine which one best reflects ordinary consumer needs.

“…One example of such a manikin is a one-segment movable sweating fabric manikin "Walter" from Hong Kong, which is used to directly measure interactions of the surface heat and mass transfer from the human body under varying climatic conditions and walking speeds 160,161 . Another thermal manikin, ADAM, that was a sort of a forerunner of a new generation of multi-segments sweating thermal manikins, was developed for the American National Renewable Energy Laboratory for comfort testing 162 .…”

Thermal comfort: research and practice

Thermal comfort -the state of mind, which expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment-is an important aspect of the building design process as modern man spends most of the day indoors. This paper reviews the developments in indoor thermal comfort research and practice since the second half of the 1990s, and groups these developments around two main themes; (i) thermal comfort models and standards, and (ii) advances in computerization. Within the first theme, the PMV-model (Predicted Mean Vote), created by Fanger in the late 1960s is discussed in the light of the emergence of models of adaptive thermal comfort. The adaptive models are based on adaptive opportunities of occupants and are related to options of personal control of the indoor climate and psychology and performance. Both models have been considered in the latest round of thermal comfort standard revisions. The second theme focuses on the ever increasing role played by computerization in thermal comfort research and practice, including sophisticated multi-segmental modeling and building performance simulation, transient thermal conditions and interactions, thermal manikins.
