Abstract
Currently indoor environment studies focus on phenomena around the hunun body at the microclimate level, and therefore the need for more realistic and detailed human body models has been pointed out. Numerical models representing closely the actual shape of the human body have already been proposed for seated female models (or androgynous models based on female body shapes), and are available for indoor environment analysis applications. However, other human body shapes have not been modeled. In addition, since existing models use coarse meshes, sufficient detailed data on various parts of the human body has not been gathered. This study aims to develop virtual manikins that represent human body scales for adult males and females as well as child (almost seven-year-olds). This report provides an overview of the development of models for seven-year-olds child.
