Excerpt from Thermal ysis-Human Comfort-Indoor Environments<br/><br/>A review is given of existing knowledge regarding the conditions for thermal comfort for man, emphasizing research data Obtained during recent years. Equations, indices, and diagrams predicting man's thermal sensation, comfort, and discomfort as a function of air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air velocity, humidity, clothing, and activity are discussed. The influence on comfort conditions of age, adaptation, sex, seasonal, and circadian rhythm, temperature swings, color, and noise are dealt with. The term climate monotony is considered. Local discomfort due to radiant asymmetry, vertical air temperature gradients, and non  uniformity of clothing are discussed. New preliminary research data are presented on limits for draft and on comfort limits for floor temperatures.
