Abstract

Subjective experiments were conducted in a climatic chamber to evaluate the effect of thermal environment on productivity. Chamber was conditioned at operative temperatures of 25.5℃, 28℃, or 33℃. The effects of thermal environment on task performance were modest and contradictory among the task types. According to the evaluation of fatigue feeling, the subjects most complained of mental fatigue at 33℃. The cerebral blood oxygenation was monitored by the near infrared spectroscopy. Concentration of total and oxygenated hemoglobin increased and that of deoxygenated hemoglobin decreased at 33℃. Evaluation of fatigue feeling and monitoring cerebral blood oxygenation might be applied to the measurement of productivity.
