Abstract

The objective of this paper is to find out how parents' consciousness and living behaviors affect their children's body temperature regulation and how parents decide what thermal environment is comfortable and suitable for their children, in their homes. Questionnaire surveys were conducted with of over 1100 families in the Aichi prefecture. It was found that the mothers' physical constitution and sensation of heat had a tendency to affect how they controlled the room temperature by air-conditioners. This suggested that the mothers adjusted room temperature and children's clothing to maintain a comfortable thermal environment for the children based on their own senses.<br>
