We developed a 5 node human heat balance model, which consists of core, muscle, fat, skin, and central blood pool node. The data from the outdoor thermal physiological experiments with 36 subjects were used to parameterize the human thermoregulation process and tune the model parameters. Our model was compared with one of the multisegment models, JOS-3 as well as a standard 2 node model and outperformed them in the prediction of core body temperatures and average skin surface temperatures.
