F116 Experimental Research on Heat and Moisture Transfer Properties of Clothing Material for Estimating Thermal Comfort

Abstract

There is increasing concern about the health effects of the severe thermal environment in urban area. Because of these, it is important to estimate the thermal comfort for environmental improvements and designs. The heat and the moisture transfer coefficients on clothing material are measured in various conditions, because the clothing material is one of major factors which influence the human thermal comfort. In the experiment, the authors find out the effectiveness of the velocity of wind and the thickness of clothing material on the heat and the moisture transfer properties.
