Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of airflow on local clothing insulation and evaporative resistance. Local clothing insulation and evaporative resistance of two types of summer clothing were measured under four different airflow conditions (0.15, 0.4, 1.0, 2.0 m/s). As a result, evaporative resistance has larger decrease than thermal insulation due to airflow. In addition, the magnitude of decrease in local clothing insulation and evaporative resistance were likely affected by direction of airflow and turbulence intensity.
