Abstract
Environmental Condition : Air Temperature (23.5±0.5℃) and Relative Humidity (50±10%) were kept constant in a circulation type wind tunnel. Surface temperatures of inside wall, ceiling and floor were kept almost equal to air temperature. Air velocity was the only variable with <10cm/s, 30cm/s, and 50cm/s. Subjects were healthy male (18〜25 years old) with working clothing. Experiments were made in intermediate, cooling and heating periods. Mean skin temperatures stood near 34℃ when heat exchange was neutral. Mean skin temperatures were very near those of anterior thigh. Partial sensation votes of anterior thigh and calf stood in good correlation with whole body sensation votes.
