| Abstract |
| The purpose of this study is to test the performance of the recommended summer dressing for office man through the analysis of skin temperature changes by air-conditioning temperature. We tested two clothing combinations; formal wear with necktie and casual shirts without necktie as for Cool mapsi. 4 male subjects sat to stabilize for thirty minutes after entering artificial-climate chamber with both temperature of 25℃, 27℃ and 50±10% R.H. And during 60 minute experiments of simulating office work, the subjective feelings including thermal, humidity and comfort sensation, skin temperature, clothing humidity and sweat amount were measured at the equal intervals. The result is that formal wear of 25℃ and Cool mapsi of 27℃ show good values such as low skin temperature, low clothing humidity and neutral thermal sensation. And Cool mapsi of 25℃ shows the risk of low rectal temperature for long and static energy level of office work. Formal wear of 27℃ shows high values of mean skin temperature, clothing humidity and thermal sensation. Second experiment was to find the ambient temperature when the subject wearing formal wear shows the skin temperature corresponding to which he shows on Cool mapsi of 27℃. The air-conditioning temperature on wearing formal wear has to be 2℃ lower to produce the corresponding skin temperature to which shows on wearing Cool mapsi of 27℃. Therefore it is possible to increase room temperature to 27℃, when wear Cool mapsi for summer office, for skin temperature and thermal sensation are produced the same. |
