In order to improve the design effect of venues, this paper establishes evaluation model indoor thermal comfort for humid and hot subtropical areas, which provides theoretical reference venue design. This investigates sensation basketball players by questionnaire, analyzes relation-ship between vote standard effective temperature, predicted mean vote, wet bulb globe develops an index called usi...

20(3) : 357-364. 1965. -Thirty male and twenty-six female Caucasians were tested at work levels of I .o liters 02 consumption in go F wet-bulb temperature, 93 F dry-bulb temperature, and 80 ft/min air velocity for comparative heat reactions in the unacclimatized state. The females had more severe physiological and psychological reactions. Rectal temperatures of 104 F and heart rates of 180 beat...

conclusions the results showed that the heat stress increased by increasing air velocity and humidity in both groups. the air velocity with high humidity can be considered as a positive factor in the occurrence of heat strain. therefore, the incidence of heat stress decreases with the increase of humidity and reduction of air velocity or with increase of air velocity and reduction of humidity i...

UNLABELLED The location of the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index measurement may affect heat stress flag category classification. PURPOSE This study aimed to compare WBGT measurements at three locations along the Boston Marathon race course and compare WBGT estimates for meteorological stations and 72-h advanced WBGT forecasts. METHODS WBGT was measured hourly from 1000 to 1400 h at a...

The hygienic norms for microclimate are often neglected. The purpose of the study was to assess stress in workers exposed to overheat in the hot period of the year. The microclimate components and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) were measured in two units: glass manufacturing unit and iron foundry. Stress was estimated in 15 males, exposed to heat and in a control group of 15 men from each un...

This study aimed to investigate the thermal responses of acclimated workers exposed heat stress in a real work environment. The physiological indices and subjective perception 14 were measured an industrial plant. effects wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) on studied. differences between unacclimated college students compared analyzed. relationship mean skin sensation was revealed. results show ...
