ShareINSULATION CHARACTERISTICS OF WINTER AND SUMMER INDOOR CLOTHING.
Author(s) : MCCULLOUGH E. A., WYON D. P.
Summary
THE THERMAL INSULATION (CLO) VALUES OF CLOTHING ENSEMBLES IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS WERE MEASURED USING AN ELECTRICALLY HEATED MANIKIN. THE SAME DESIGNS, CONSTRUCTION METHODS, AND SUPPORT MATERIALS WERE USED TO MAKE A SET OF WINTER AND SUMMER GARMENTS, DIFFERING ONLY IN FABRIC TYPE. RESULTS INDICATED THAT ADDING OR REMOVING CERTAIN GARMENTS AND CHANGING HOW THEY ARE WORN ON THE BODY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF CLOTHING INSULATION. WINTER ENSEMBLES WERE SIGNIFICANTLY WARMER THAN COMPARABLE SUMMER ENSEMBLES.
