Abstract
1) The thermal manikin was designed on the basis of an average size of female students. The body consists of seventeen parts. Each part isolated thermally from the others can be controlled individually with thermal detectors and a heat supplier in order to make the surface temperature of the manikin equals to the human skin temperature.
2) The manikin was clothed with thirteen kinds of clothes in four seasons, and partial clo values (Itotal) of their clothes were obtained. It was made clear that even clothes with the same total clo values had different partial clo values.
3) Comfortable conditions of wear in various atmospheric temperature was estimated on the basis of the partial clo value. These estimated values were compared with the partial clo values in wearing conditions of thirteen kinds of clothes.
