We have developed a coupled system of a human thermal model and .CFD to predict physiological response and indoor thermal environment simultaneously by solving energy equations regarding the human.body and indoor environment as one thermal problem. This coupled system takes into consideration convective and radiative heat transfer and moisture mass transfer at the skin surface and simulates the heat exchange between the thermoregulated human body and its surroundings. The coupled system was applied to a uniform thermal environment at ambient temperature of 22 and 28℃. The heat transfer and moisture mass transfer rates from the human body and the surrounding environment were predicted using the model based on thermoregulatory response in each condition.
