Skin temperature and evaporative heat loss variations for men and women in thermal comfort.

Author(s) : MODERA M. P.

Summary

Optimal skin temperature was found to be essentially equivalent for sedentary males and females (metabolic rate about 50 kilocal/h.m2), whereas at a metabolic rate of 150 kilocal/h.m2, it was 1.2 deg C lower for females than that for males. The evaporative heat loss regressions suggest an additional 1.3 deg C depression of ambient temperature at all metabolic rates for females; however, such regressions are inappropriate at low metabolic rates.
