Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences between mean and local skin temperatures while neutral thermal sensation and thermal comfort were obtained. Eighteen healthy female students, between 21 and 24 years old, were exposed to the conditions where air temperature differed vertically of a room (upper was warmer and lower was cooler) in summer and winter. Under these conditions, the room temperatures were adjusted to keep mean skin temperature neutral (33℃〜34℃). In summer, skin temperature differences while they felt neutral thermal sensation and thermal comfort were smaller 2.3℃ and 2.7℃, respectively. In winter, those were smaller 3.1℃ and 3.2℃. They tended to complain of coldness and discomfort with smaller differences of skin temperature in summer than in winter.
