Description

The objectives of this paper is to propose thermal comfort zone based on the experimental data of the optimum air temperature and humidity conditions for Japanese. Experiments were conducted on 650 Japanese young men and wemen in the summer season under 16 kinds of the following combined conditions : air temperature of 22℃, 24℃, 26℃ and 28℃, and absolute humidity of 7g/kg', 10g/kg', 13g/kg' and 16g/kg' under still air in which mean radiant temperature is nearly equal to air temperature. The following results were obtained : 1) The Comfort Zone for slightly clothed (0.45clo), sedentary young Japanese is represented in the envelope in which operative temperature range extents 24.7℃ to 27.6℃ on the 6g/kg' absolute humidity line, and 24.1℃ to 26℃ on the 80% relative humidity curve. 2) The mean skin temperature stands between 33℃ and 34℃ in the thermal comfort conditions.
