HUMAN RESPONSE TO HOT ENVIRONMENTS: A COMPARISON OF ISO AND ASHRAE METHODS OF ASSESSMENT.

Author(s) : PARSONS K. C.

Summary

THE RATIONAL MODELS FOR ASSESSING HUMAN RESPONSE TO HOT ENVIRONMENTS, WHICH ARE BASED ON ISO DIS 7933 (ISO METHOD) AND ON ASHRAE METHOD, ARE COMPARED. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT SIMILAR PRACTICAL DECISIONS WOULD BE MADE BASED ON BOTH METHODS. THE ASSUMED CONSTANT, MEAN SKIN TEMPERATURE: 309 K (36 DEG C), OF THE ISO MODEL IS A LIMITATION TO ACCURATE PREDICTIONS, BUT IT CAN BE A REASONABLE PRACTICAL ESTIMATE OF MEAN SKIN TEMPERATURE FOR MANY CONDITIONS. CORE TEMPERATURE < PREDICTIONS > ARE SIMILAR FOR THE TWO MODELS AND REASONABLE PREDICTIONS ARE MADE OF MEASURED AURAL TEMPERATURES.
