大学生の夏季日常生活下における温度環境の実態調査

抄録

The purpose of this study was to examine the temperature of environments in which subjects stayed in summer, as well as the relationship between the thermal environment and subjective heat-cold tolerance. Temperatures were monitored using a portable thermometer. There was a significant difference between the average temperature of environments in which subjects stayed (TSS: 28.5 ± 1.6 ℃ ) and the temperature recorded by the Japan Meteorological Agency (T-JMA: 31.0 ± 1.7 ℃ ) (P < 0.05). The difference between the average daytime and nighttime temperatures of TSS (0.8 ± 0.74 ℃ ) was significantly smaller than T-JMA (3.6 ± 0.69 ℃ ) (P < 0.001). Therefore, we concluded that subjects in summer stayed in environments with temperatures lower than the T-JMA and lived in a narrowtemperature- range environment. That suggested that the subjects lived in environments where room temperature was controlled by air-conditioning.
