Transient response of human sensory system to changes in thermal environment.

Author(s) : SAKURAI Y., MATSUBARA N., MORIMOTO H.

Summary

Experiments were conducted in a climate chamber. A step input was given for the neutral air temperature, controlled with an air conditioner, and for thermal radiation, controlled with a radiant panel. The responses of skin temperatures and votes to the changes in air temperature and thermal radiation were recorded every minute. They were time-differentiated and each impulse response was obtained. However, the main interest was not in skin temperature itself, but in the responses recorded in the votes, which are necessary for predicting and designing thermal conditions in a room.
