Thermal sensation models for environmental parameters testing

Abstract

Currently, there are various complex models that are used to predict the thermal load, or thermal comfort of the employee with different scales for evaluating the feeling of warmth or of cold, with the help of which it is possible not only to speed up the evaluation of the thermal load but also to make it more precise. With the help of thermal manikins, it is possible to simulate human reactions to heat and humidity conditions. The article deals with the possibilities of using thermal manikins as a useful aid in measuring heat exchange between the environment and the human body, testing thermal stress, etc. These tools will then be available for use by the industry to develop more efficient thermal comfort systems.
