“…In this research, the experiment was carried out after the subjects had been informed that comfort is specific to heat. It was, however, implied that there is a psychological tendency to perform a nonspecific and comprehensive evaluation of the entire space including visual and auditory stimuli, when one is outdoors [10–14]. …”

“…Although thermal comfort is the subject of research, it is treated as nonspecific and comprehensive rather than particular [9]. In the case of restricting the responses to thermal stimuli in instructions for the experiment and not having subjects respond on thermal sense, a nonspecific evaluation is a thermal evaluation but is also the evaluation of a comprehensive impression of space by environmental stimuli other than thermal stimuli, such as visual or auditory stimuli [10–14]. In contrast, a specific evaluation is when the test subjects are made to focus on and evaluate thermal stimuli alone as instructed by the research staff.…”

In order to manage the outdoor thermal environment with regard to human health and the environmental impact of waste heat, quantitative evaluations are indispensable. It is necessary to use a thermal environment evaluation index. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between the psychological thermal responses of the human body and winter outdoor thermal environment variables. Subjective experiments were conducted in the winter outdoor environment. Environmental factors and human psychological responses were measured. The relationship between the psychological thermal responses of the human body and the outdoor thermal environment index ETFe (enhanced conduction-corrected modified effective temperature) in winter was shown. The variables which influence the thermal sensation vote of the human body are air temperature, long-wave thermal radiation and short-wave solar radiation. The variables that influence the thermal comfort vote of the human body are air temperature, humidity, short-wave solar radiation, long-wave thermal radiation, and heat conduction. Short-wave solar radiation, and heat conduction are among the winter outdoor thermal environment variables that affect psychological responses to heat. The use of thermal environment evaluation indices that comprise short-wave solar radiation and heat conduction in winter outdoor spaces is a valid approach.

The influence of outdoor thermal environment on young Japanese females

The influence of short wave solar radiation appears to be strong outdoors in summer, and the influence of airflow appears to be strong outdoors in winter. The purpose of this paper was to clarify the influence of the outdoor environment on young Japanese females. This research shows the relationship between the physiological and psychological responses of humans and the enhanced conduction-corrected modified effective temperature (ETFe). Subjective experiments were conducted in an outdoor environment. Subjects were exposed to the thermal environment in a standing posture. Air temperature, humidity, air velocity, short wave solar radiation, long wave radiation, ground surface temperature, sky factor, and the green solid angle were measured. The temperatures of skin exposed to the atmosphere and in contact with the ground were measured. Thermal sensation and thermal comfort were measured by means of rating the whole-body thermal sensation (cold-hot) and the whole body thermal comfort (comfortable-uncomfortable) on a linear scale. Linear rating scales are given for the hot (100) and cold (0), and comfortable (100) and uncomfortable (0) directions only. Arbitrary values of 0 and 100 were assigned to each endpoint, the reported values read in, and the entire length converted into a numerical value with an arbitrary scale of 100 to give a linear rating scale. The ETFe considered to report a neither hot nor cold, thermally neutral sensation of 50 was 35.9 °C, with 32.3 °C and 42.9 °C, respectively, corresponding to the low and high temperature ends of the ETFe considered to report a neither comfortable nor uncomfortable comfort value of 50. The mean skin temperature considered to report a neither hot nor cold, thermally neutral sensation of 50 was 33.3 °C, with 31.0 °C and 34.3 °C, respectively, corresponding to the low and high temperature ends of the mean skin temperature considered to report a neither comfortable nor uncomfortable comfort value of 50. The acceptability raised the mean skin temperature even for thermal environment conditions in which ETFe was high.

This study examined the combined effect of auditory and thermal factors in order to clarify the relationship between the comprehensive comfortableness and unspecific votes (impression of hot-cold, warm-cool and harmonious sensation vote).The main results are as follows; 1) The influence of the auditory factor on the comprehensive comfortableness and harmonious sensation votes tended to converge at low or high temperatures. 2) In various environmental conditions, the relationships between familiar-unfamiliar and the impression of hot-cold and warm-cool were approximately equal with the relationships between comfortable-uncomfortable and the impression of hot-cold and warm-cool. 3) The difference in the influence of auditory factor on the harmonious sensation vote varied was conspicuously depending on the degree of thermal factor stimulus.
