Type of article: Article
Summary
Develops a model that predicts the percentage of people dissatisfied due to insufficient respiratory cooling as a function of the actual evaporative and convective cooling of the respiratory tract. Together with a previously proposed model for predicting discomfort due to high skin humidity, the respiratory model may be used to specify upper limits for humidity in the indoor environment.
