Abstract

In recent years, natural ventilation systems have attracted attention as an energy-saving method for cooling. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of local nonisothermal airflow generated during natural ventilation on the human body. To achieve this goal, we conducted experiments using a thermal manikin in a climate chamber. The amount of heat loss in each body segment was measured under 28 conditions corresponding to different clothes, different temperatures and airflow velocity as parameters.
