Effect of local exposure on human thermal responses(1)：effects of local thermal sensation on overall thermal sensation

At the room temperatures ranging from neutral to warm, three sensitive body parts—the face, the chest and the back of 30 randomly selected male subjects are each exposed to local cooling air. Records local thermal sensations of each body part and overall thermal sensation at regular intervals by questionnaires. The results show that local exposure affects not only thermal sensations of the exposed body and the whole body, but also thermal sensations of the unexposed body parts. Proposes a new influencing factor method and a predicted model for overall thermal sensation based on the method.
