Abstract
To understand thermal properties of clothing materials is useful to understand the human heat balance. The influence of solar radiation is large in human heat balance in outdoor and this has major impact on human thermal sensation. Solar absorptance, transmittance, reflectance, and infrared emissivity for six different colored clothing's were measured. Convective heat transfer coefficient for cotton material was also measured. Therefore, heat transfer among human-clothing-environment system was calculated and effect of clothing on human heat balance was clarified.
