Achieving a balance between energy efficiency and thermal comfort is a key aspect of
sustainable building design. Traditional control methods typically maintain indoor air …

Thermal comfort property is one of the most important properties to fibrous materials, and it
will affect the human thermophysiological responses. The thermal comfort property of fibrous …

Humanity lacks a clear concept of how to choose clothing that can provide the appropriate
insulation in cold weather, which obviously affects their thermal comfort and energy wastage …

In real life conditions, the trapped air between the human body and the garment has uneven
shape and vary over the body parts as a consequence of the complex geometry of the …

Clothing is important for keeping the human body warm in cold environments. In Fanger's
predicted mean vote (PMV) model, clothing insulation is a single input parameter that …

Simple Summary Rescue services personnel may be exposed to a wide range of harsh
environments that require the use of protective gear. In order to achieve the best …

The heat and mass transfer in clothing is predominantly dependent on the thickness of air
layer and the magnitude of contact area between the body and the garment. The air gap …

This study aimed to examine how human body thermophysiologically responds to four
commonly used cooling strategies (ie, electric fan cooling [AirFC], evaporative cooling …

The present experimental work is dedicated to the analysis of the effect of walking
movements and air velocity on the convective heat transfer coefficients (h conv) of the …

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed hybrid cooling
vest for construction workers in alleviating heat stress. Method: Two types of cooling vests …
