Measurement of thermal parameters of skin-fabric-environment

The human body responds to environment variables in case of a dynamic interaction. In case of thermal environment this will determine if the person feels too hot, too cold or thermally comfortable. Air temperature, radiation temperature, moisture and air circulation are four basic variables of the environment, affecting the response of the human being to the thermal environment. In combination with metabolic heat, the heat generated by human activities and worn garment produce 6 basic factors (sometimes called 6 basic parameters because they are in space and time, but fixed representative values are frequently used in analyses) which define thermal body environments. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of one parameter – clothing insulation on the total transfer of heat and water vapor. The investigation was carried out in two simulated climatic environments with the constant parameters and .
