Importance of Clothing for Passive Cooling Effects

摘要

Importance of clothing for passive cooling effects is pointed out. Eighteen different tradititional clothign ensembles were collected mainly from East Asia region, where climate condition during the summer season is hot and humid. Their clothign insulation were measured under different air velocities. Thermal manikin was used for the measurements in a climatic chamber. Clothign properties were also tested. Traditional clothign can penetrate air movement and their basic clothign insulation were decreased. Effect of natural ventilation and air movement with these clothing were estimated by using SET~*. IT was found that traditional summer clothign provides much cooler than those with modern ones.
