PREDICTING HUMAN PERFORMANCE DECREMENT FROM THERMAL DISCOMFORT AND EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE.

Author(s) : BERGLUND L. G.

Summary

DESCRIBES A METHOD OF RELATING PERFORMANCE DECREMENT TO THERMAL STRAIN AND DISCOMFORT, WHICH IS USEFUL FOR ESTIMATING THE EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE AND OTHER THERMAL PARAMETERS ON PERFORMANCE. STATES THAT PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS MADE AT ONE SET OF THERMAL CONDITIONS CAN BE RATIONALLY EXTRAPOLATED TO OTHER CONDITIONS. THE PREDICTION TECHNIQUES PRESENTED SUGGEST A METHOD OF QUANTIFYING THE COST IN HUMAN PERFORMANCE FROM DEVIATIONS IN THE THERMAL PARAMETERS OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROVIDE A RATIONAL BASIS AND GUIDE FOR FURTHER STUDIES.
