This study investigated the perceptual and physiological responses of 10 college-aged subjects to square wave airflows of different cycles (2 min, 10 min and 30 min) under different temperature levels (28 and 32 ). Main conclusions are as follows:(1) The mean pleasantness was highest in the condition of 32℃ air temperature with square-wave airflow (10-min cycle).(2) The mean thermal sensations reported by subjects were lower than corresponding PMV values, indicating the cooling effect of dynamic airflows on human thermal comfort in warm environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
