Summary

DESCRIBES STUDIES OF THE MICROCLIMATES IN SEVERAL PATIENT'S ROOMS IN A CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL DURING THE PERIOD MAY-DECEMBER. PSYCHROMETRIC AND THERMOHYGROGRAPHIC MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE TO ANALYSE THE TEMPERATURE AND AIR HUMIDITY CONDITIONS. FINDS THAT THE TEMPERATURE-HUMIDITY CONDITIONS IN THE ROOMS WERE BAD, WITH MAJOR DEVIATIONS FROM COMFORT PARAMETERS. IN PARTICULAR, THERE WERE OBSERVED EXCESSIVE AIR TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS OVER 24 HOURS. CONCLUDES THAT PATIENT DISCOMFORT AFTER A LONG PERIOD IN THE ENCLOSED AND HEATED ROOMS WAS NOT CAUSED BY TOO-LOW HUMIDITY BUT BY A TOO-HIGH OR TOO-LOW TEMPERATURE.
