Clothing Evaporative Heat Resistance-proposal for Improved Representation in Standards and Models

摘要

Clothing heat and vapour resistances are important inputs for standards and models dealing with thermal comfort, heat-and cold-stress. A vast database of static clothing heat resistance values is available, and this was recently expanded with correction equations to account for effects of movement and wind on the static value of heat resistance in order to obtain the dynamic heat resistance of clothing ensembles. For clothing vapour resistance, few data were available so far.
