A Study on Physiological and Psychological Responses in the Case Where Subjects Move to Slightly Warm Environment With Air Movement From Hot Environment

This paper clarifies the domain characteristics of the "not uncomfortable" state as being a result of thermal adaptation in heating rooms under two unsteady thermal environments in winter, based on the cognitive temperature scale.1. If thermal comfort descriptions by the subjects change from "uncomfortable" to "not-uncomfortable" or to "comfortable", then cognitive temperature has risen. This result was similar for thermal sensation. From this result, the existence of "not-uncomfortable" state becomes clear.2. The cognitive temperature was higher than room air temperature when described as "comfortable". Therefore, the difference between the cognitive temperature and room air temperature can be used to estimate thermal adaptation.

In this study, a field survey was conducted to investigate thermal comfort differences between office A aiming for a uniform environment and office B with environmental selectivity. As a result, a negative correlation was confirmed between unacceptability and thermal environment satisfaction (r = 0.42) in office A, but a positive correlation was confirmed between pleasantness and thermal environment satisfaction (r = 0.29) in office B. Therefore, it was shown that while it's important not to feel unacceptability in offices aiming for a uniform environment, the feeling of pleasantness, rather than the occurrence of unacceptability itself, improves thermal environment satisfaction in offices with environmental selectivity.
