Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify resident's clothes in their living room. The questionnaire survey was conducted in different types of residences in and around Kyoto city during the summer and winter seasons. The clo values of male and female were 0.25clo and 0.30clo in summer, and 0.71clo and 0.73clo in winter respectively. In winter, significant differences in the clo values at different age levels were found for both male and female. Differences in those by dwelling type were also observed. The survey clearly shows that the differences in the clo values at the different age groups as well as in the different types of residences should be taken into consideration to evaluate thermal environment of living rooms in winter. In either season, differences in clothing ensembles at different age groups and in different dwelling types were observed for both male and female. It seems that the differences in the clothing ensembles by age and dwelling type should be considered to evaluate thermal environment of living rooms.
