Non-uniformity of thermal sensation

Thermal sensation, acceptability and comfort are the important responses while evaluating the qualityof thermal environment. Experimental investigations into the relationships between these responseswere performed separately under uniform and non-uniform conditions that produced by local cooling.Thirty male Chinese subjects in college age participated the experiment and reported their local thermalsensation of each body part, overall thermal sensation, acceptability and comfort. Under uniformconditions, overall thermal sensation, acceptability and comfort are correlated closely.
