Author(s) : HASEBE Y., TANABE S., KIMURA K.

Summary

SUBJECTS WERE EXPOSED UNDER 3 DIFFERENT AIR VELOCITIES: 0.12, 0.48 AND 1 M/S, WITH 3 TYPES OF CLOTHING ENSEMBLES. CLO VALUES OF ALL ENSEMBLES WERE THE SAME AS 0.41. AIR TEMPERATURE IN THE CLIMATE CHAMBER WAS 304 K (31 DEG C) AND HUMIDITY WAS 50% RH. MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE WAS EQUALEDTO THE AIR TEMPERATURE. AT 0.12 M/S, SUBJECTS WEARING HALF-SLEEVE WITH COLLAR SHIRT FELT WARMER WHICH WAS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. AT THE MEAN AIR VELOCITIES OF 0.48 AND 1.0 M/S THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES FOR MEAN THERMAL SENSATION VOTES AND MEAN COMFORT VOTES SHIRT DESIGNS.
