Abstract
Air temperature (Ta), radiant temperature (Tr), wind speed (Var), relative humidity (RH), clothing insulation (clo), and metabolic rate (Met) are essential parameters for evaluating thermal comfort, but clo and Met are difficult to measure. Generally, clo data from ASHRAE Standard 55 or ISO 7730 are used. This research aimed to evaluate the clo value by measuring the skin and clothing temperature with an infrared camera. Experiments were carried out with three seasonal (winter, spring/fall, and summer) environmental and garment conditions. The measured skin and clothing temperatures as well as the sensible heat loss from the skin calculated with the human thermoregulation model(HTM) proposed by Fanger were applied to the heat balance equation to calculate the clothing thermal insulation. The results of the evaluation of the clo value using the standard method and with HTM were then compared.
