C-30 Investigation of Heating Thermal Comfort in Highly Air-tight and Insulated House by Subjective Experiment : Part 4 Variation of Peripheral Skin Temperature

Abstract

This experiment is done to see the effect that of a floor heater and an air-conditioner on female subjects. In the morning, those subjects keep at rest, and are exposed to the experiment for two hours in the highly air-tight and insulated room in the afternoon. The decrease of skin temperature, as which defined that the difference of the temperature between the navels and the right side of feet is above six degrees, is caused for each of heating system. The tendencies of skin temperature decreasing are divided into three types, one always keeps decreasing, one sometimes gets decreasing, the other dose not decrease any time.
