“…In terms of whether the above findings are due to the actual gazing at colors, the results of eye movement measurements showed that the gazing time and frequency rates tended to be higher for cold colors when the thermal sensation was warmer and for warm colors when the thermal sensation was cooler (Sakamoto et al,2007;. Matsubara et al ( , 2011, Shimada et al (2008Shimada et al ( , 2019, and others have shown that the slope of the regression equation is smaller when visual and auditory environmental factors are added than when they are not, when a linear regression of the relationship between temperature and various thermal reports is conducted, and it is speculated that this is because the attentional resources allocated to the thermal environment are smaller.…”

Research on the thermal comfort of houses in Japan has developed mainly in some parts of the field of architectural environmental engineering. It is believed to have its roots in the hygienic sciences that sought to improve the poor living conditions of urban residents during the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom. In 1964, a part of the architectural planning theory field was renamed to architectural environmental engineering, but the majority of the research conducted was related to environmental physics. In the early days, research on the sensation of temperature and comfort was mainly based on diagrammatic stimulusresponse (S-R) research. Later, the research framework was expanded to include the development from human sensation and perception to cognition, multisensory research, occupant behavior, and social psychological aspects.Historically, Japanese housing has been characterized by low thermal insulation and airtightness, which has led to a warmth-preservation lifestyle for the occupants. The persistence of the idea that "even in the house, it is cold in winter " has persisted even in recent years. Massabuau, J. P. observed that in regard to Japanese housing, the function of heat and cold protection has been neglected and extreme priority has been given to simplicity and aesthetics. In Japan, there is definitely a tendency to regard a warm environment in winter as a luxury, and this may be a disincentive to promote the insulation and airtightness of houses.Furthermore, we included discussions on the importance of cultural perspectives in future research in this field.

The influence of outdoor thermal environment on young Japanese females

et al. 2013

The influence of short wave solar radiation appears to be strong outdoors in summer, and the influence of airflow appears to be strong outdoors in winter. The purpose of this paper was to clarify the influence of the outdoor environment on young Japanese females. This research shows the relationship between the physiological and psychological responses of humans and the enhanced conduction-corrected modified effective temperature (ETFe). Subjective experiments were conducted in an outdoor environment. Subjects were exposed to the thermal environment in a standing posture. Air temperature, humidity, air velocity, short wave solar radiation, long wave radiation, ground surface temperature, sky factor, and the green solid angle were measured. The temperatures of skin exposed to the atmosphere and in contact with the ground were measured. Thermal sensation and thermal comfort were measured by means of rating the whole-body thermal sensation (cold-hot) and the whole body thermal comfort (comfortable-uncomfortable) on a linear scale. Linear rating scales are given for the hot (100) and cold (0), and comfortable (100) and uncomfortable (0) directions only. Arbitrary values of 0 and 100 were assigned to each endpoint, the reported values read in, and the entire length converted into a numerical value with an arbitrary scale of 100 to give a linear rating scale. The ETFe considered to report a neither hot nor cold, thermally neutral sensation of 50 was 35.9 °C, with 32.3 °C and 42.9 °C, respectively, corresponding to the low and high temperature ends of the ETFe considered to report a neither comfortable nor uncomfortable comfort value of 50. The mean skin temperature considered to report a neither hot nor cold, thermally neutral sensation of 50 was 33.3 °C, with 31.0 °C and 34.3 °C, respectively, corresponding to the low and high temperature ends of the mean skin temperature considered to report a neither comfortable nor uncomfortable comfort value of 50. The acceptability raised the mean skin temperature even for thermal environment conditions in which ETFe was high.

In order to manage the outdoor thermal environment with regard to human health and the environmental impact of waste heat, quantitative evaluations are indispensable. It is necessary to use a thermal environment evaluation index. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between the psychological thermal responses of the human body and winter outdoor thermal environment variables. Subjective experiments were conducted in the winter outdoor environment. Environmental factors and human psychological responses were measured. The relationship between the psychological thermal responses of the human body and the outdoor thermal environment index ETFe (enhanced conduction-corrected modified effective temperature) in winter was shown. The variables which influence the thermal sensation vote of the human body are air temperature, long-wave thermal radiation and short-wave solar radiation. The variables that influence the thermal comfort vote of the human body are air temperature, humidity, short-wave solar radiation, long-wave thermal radiation, and heat conduction. Short-wave solar radiation, and heat conduction are among the winter outdoor thermal environment variables that affect psychological responses to heat. The use of thermal environment evaluation indices that comprise short-wave solar radiation and heat conduction in winter outdoor spaces is a valid approach.
