Clothing
German) were measured, and these measures were taken every 5 min. Subjective
sensations were determined from ratings of thermal sensation (9-point scale, +4=very
hot, -4=very cold) and thermal comfort (5-point scale, 0=comfortable, 5=extremely
uncomfortable). Mean skin temperature was calculated as 7-points according to a
method by Hardy and Dubois (1937) and clothing thermal insulation was calculated
by Winslow and Herington's method (1949). Mean temperature inside clothing was
calculated as arithmetic mean of 6-points (chest, abdomen, arm, thigh, leg, foot). Oneway
ANOVA, correlation and regression analysis were used to investigate relation
between clothing microclimate and clothing thermal insulation.
RESULTS
The more clothing layers, the
higher clothing microclimate and
the higher clothing thermal
insulation (Figure 1).
Temperature and humidity inside
clothes increased in the following
order: 1 layer
