“…There are some reports on the comparisons between manikins and human participants, but the results are conflicting. Some reported human testing values were smaller in human testing than manikin tests (Kuklane et al , 2007; Nilsson et al , 1998), greater in wear trial values than in manikin values (Ducharme et al , 1996; Konarska et al , 2007) or insignificant (Meinander et al , 2004; Sung, 1991). The differences between manikin and wear trial values have been attributed to the difference in the amount of trapped air and body surface area exposed to the air (Ducharme et al , 1996) or moisture accumulation in the cold protective clothing (Kuklane et al , 2007).…”

“…For humans, the sitting posture represents a greater comfort state than the standing posture, which results in an increase in EE. There, apparently, is a difference in convective and radiant heat exchange between standing and sitting, but the difference was not large (Sung, 1991); 0.88 and 0.86 clo in standing and sitting positions, respectively. The difference seen in variation of posture seems to depend on the characteristics of the clothing, especially the thickness of the air layer inside the garments.…”

“…Even though the variation in thermal insulation found when measured using identical clothing was greater in human subjects than in thermal manikins (Meinander et al , 2004), the validity of the calculated results should be examined with human testing. While most manikin‐testing studies present clothing insulation values using a thermal manikin in the absence of human testing, some have compared clothing insulations through both thermal manikins and human participants (Ducharme et al , 1998; Konarska et al , 2007; Kuklane et al , 2007; Meinander et al , 2004; Nilsson et al , 1998; Sung, 1991). However, there are few reports on the validation of the global and serial methods in human trial‐values.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine differences between thermal insulation calculated by a global and a serial method using a thermal manikin, in comparison with human trials.Design/methodology/approachA total of 150 single garments and 38 clothing ensembles were assessed using the manikin; 26 seasonal clothing ensembles were selected for human trials.FindingsThe results showed that total insulation of single garments was 16 percent higher in the serial method than in the global method. The difference was higher in garments with smaller covering area per unit garment mass (e.g. winter garments). For seasonal clothing ensembles, the serial values were 39.2 percent (0.18 clo) for spring/fall wear, 62.6 percent (0.15 clo) for summer wear and for winter wear 64.8 percent (0.69 clo) greater than the global values. The clothing insulation by the global method was systemically lower in all 26 seasonal ensembles than values by human trials, which suggests that the values by the global calculation can be more accurately corrected with human testing data.Originality/valueThe paper shows that values by the serial calculation were lower in spring/fall and summer ensembles but greater in winter garments than values collated by human trials. It suggests that the serial values had a lower validity when compared with thermal insulation values collated from human trials.
