Abstract
Laboratory experiments were performed in a climate simulator, where temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and artificialinsolation can be controlled, to investigate man's physiologicalresponse and thermal comfort. The following results were obtained; 1) skin temperature decreases with wettedness, 2) variation ofmetabolic ratio with meteorological conditions can be ignorable and 3) thermal sensation can not be explained by increase of skintemperature, which conflicts with the former physiological models.
