Abstract

This paper presents a concept for more realistic and reliable evaluation of thermal indoor environment. A detailed thermal model of a human body, interacting with building simulation
model, makes it possible to predict transient tissue temperatures of a human body as well as local skin temperature levels in realistic working and living conditions. Using these temperature distributions of a human body as input data for a new thermal comfort prediction model (Hui 2003), both local and overall estimations of thermal comfort of a human body can be obtained. In the future, these estimations of thermal comfort can be used when analysing links between alternative technical solutions vs. productivity and health issues.
