Type of article: Article

Summary

THIS PAPER CONCENTRATES ON A FRESH APPRAISAL OF BOTH REQUIRED INTERNAL AND DESIGN EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENTS. THE ARGUMENTS ARE APPLIED TO AUSTRALIA, BUT ARE WORTH CONSIDERING IN GENERAL. DESIRABLE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENTS SHOULD CONSIDER THE TENDENCY TOWARDS LIGHTER CLOTHING, THE POSSIBILITY OF GREATER AIR MOVEMENT, AND PREFERENCES BASED ON LOCAL EXPECTATIONS OF COMFORT. EXTERNAL DESIGN ENVIRONMENTS NEED TO BE BETTER RESEARCHED THAN HAS OFTEN BEEN THE CASE. THE RESULT IN GENERAL IS TO WIDEN POSSIBLE COMFORT LIMITS AND TO PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF SIMPLE EVAPORATIVE COOLING IN CASES NOT PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED. THE OVERALL PROBLEMS APPLY EQUALLY WELL TO CONVENTIONAL AIR-CONDITIONING. D.W.H.
