ENERGY EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN THERMAL COMFORT

摘要

Embodiments are directed to creating human thermal comfort through energy-efficient management of heat exchangers on areas of the human body that correspond with dermatomes. Embodiments are further directed to a control module that manages a plurality of individual heat exchangers. A physiological state is created that delays or eliminates the onset of uncomfortable thermoregulatory responses to the ambient temperature without attempting to affect the core body temperature, which is applied to garments and other apparatuses to improve human thermal comfort.
