Author(s) : BERGLUND L. G., SUPPAN P.

Summary

LABORATORY STUDY TESTED SUBJECTS AT 27 DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND ACTIVITY. AT LOWER HUMIDITIES THE SUBJECTS FELT COOLER AND FOUND THE THERMAL ENVIRONMENT MORE ACCEPTABLE. THEY ALSO PERCEIVED THE AIR TO BE FRESHER AND TO BE OF MORE ACCEPTABLE QUALITY AT DRIER AND/OR COOLER CONDITIONS. SUBJECT ACCEPTANCE OF THE AIR QUALITY ENVIRONMENT WAS LOW AT HUMIDITIES ABOVE 65% RH.
