Abstract
Skin temperature is one of the major predictor of thermal comfort. There are many studies on the relationship between indoor temperature and skin temperature, but studies considering metabolic rate together are insufficient. This study explored changes in people's activity amount, skin temperature, and thermal sensation for 24 hours using a wearable device. The amount of metabolic rate and sweating were calculated from these data. As the metabolic rate increased, the sweating tended to increase, and the skin temperature decreased. In addition, the amount of sweating in the cooling season was higher than in the heating season, and there was a significant difference in the regression line of skin temperature and the metabolic rate among seasons.
