The objective of this paper is to clarify the effect of wind velocities and wind directions on forced convective heat transfer coefficients for human body. A series of experiments using a standing thermal manikin was carried out under the combining conditions of wind velocities (0.09- 4.3m/s) and wind directions (0°, 45°, 90°, 135° and 180°). Nude and five clothing ensembles were tested. The results show that the whole-body forced convective heat transfer coefficients for clothing ensembles depend on wind directions. Correction coefficients with regards to wind directions for the whole-body forced convective heat transfer coefficients for clothed body were proposed.
