본 연구의 목적은 겨울철 난방시 한국인의 온열감각과 온열환경지표 사이의 상관관계 및 ASHRAE Standard 55-74의 쾌적영역과 한국인의 쾌적영역을 체감실험을 통해 규명 및 제시하는 것이다. 유니폼을 착용한 피실험자는 온도, 습도, 기류 등이 조절되는 환경시험실에서 2시간동안 체재하면서 매 15분 마다 전신온냉감, 쾌불쾌감 등을 신고하였다. 또한 인체의 3부위에서 피부온도, 환경시험실의 온도 및 습도를 매 20초 간격으로 측정하였다. 이상의 체감실험을 통해 아래의 결론을 얻었다. 1)평균피부온도가 증가함에 따라 TSV는 선형적으로 증가하며 열적으로 중립감을 느낄 때의 평균피부온도는 청년 34.$0^{\circ}C$, 고령자 33.5$^{\circ}C$이다. 2)TSV=0일때 청년의 중립 SET＊는 25.5$^{\circ}C$, 고령자의 중립 SET＊는 27.$0^{\circ}C$이다. 3)한국인의 쾌적범위는 청년의 경우 SET＊의 경우 24.2-26.8$^{\circ}C$, 고령자의 경우 SET＊25.7-28.2$^{\circ}C$로 ASHRAE St.55-74의 권장 쾌적범위 (22.0-25.4$^{\circ}C$)보다 다소 고온지향적이다.

차량용 에어컨은 열적 쾌적감을 고려해서 제품설계를 해야 하는 아주 민감한 제품이다. 본 연구에서는 차량용 에어컨의 성능 향상을 위한 기초연구의 하나로서 시간의 흐름에 따른 피실험자의 주관적 쾌적감과 피부온, 구강온, 맥박, 혈압의 변화를 비교 분석하고자 한다. 차량 운행중 에어컨을 사용한다면 바람을 직접적으로 받는 머리 부분은 10-20분 후에 급격히 피부온이 떨어지고, 등을 제외한 나머지 신체 부위는 40분 전후에서야 34$^{\circ}C$ 정도의 피부온을 보였다. 차량에 탑승한 후 50분과 70-80분 이후의 구강온이 초기의 30 분 이전의 구강온과는 유의한 차이를 보이고 있었다. 이것은 구강온이 떨어질 때 졸음의 욕구가 커지기 때문에 운행중 에어컨의 가동은 50 분 이하로 하는 것이 좋고 늦어도 70-80 분 이상을 하는 것은 안전 운행상 문제가 있는 것으로 생각된다.

지금까지 연구해 온 바닥난방이 인체에 미치는 생리적, 심리적 영향에 관한 실험결과를 종합하여(건강한 여자를 피험자로 한 경우) 바닥난방의 Optimum Thermal Environmental Conditions 를 검토할 때는 다음의 조건을 만족시켜야 한다. (1) 저온 화상의 위험성을 고려하여 접촉부위의 피부온도가 $40^{\circ}C$를 넘지 않을 것. (2) 생리적 영향으로써 평균 피부온도가 $33{\;}-{\;}34^{\circ}C$의 범위일 것. (3) 심리적 영향으로써 온냉감 평가가 열적중성(slightly cool - slightly warm)으로 평가하고, 쾌적감 평가가 쾌적한 것으로 평가할 것. (4) 바닥온도에 대한 만족감 평가가 높을 것. (5) 흑구온도는 직접바닥에 앉는 자세에서는 $17^{\circ}C$ 이상, 의자에 앉는 자세에서는 $19^{\circ}C$ 이상일 것. 이상의 조건을 만족시키는 범위가 바닥난방의 Optimum Thermal Environmental Zone (Fig.7) 이라고 생각된다.

Modern people spend much time at indoor space. So, People want to make better indoor air condition. But the facade of building is made of glass to be seen urbanely, the effect of solar radiation makes indoor environment worse. This study designs an open space affected by solar radiation with 4-way cassette air-conditioner. Using numerical simulation, this paper investigates thermal comfort and ventilation performance with discharge angles $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$. To study thermal comfort, this paper studies distribution of velocity, temperature and effective draft temperature. Also, this paper introduces concept of air age to study ventilation performance. The flow influenced by solar radiation determines thermal comfort and ventilation performance in room space. This study shows that discharge angle of 45 degree has better thermal comfort and ventilation performance than that of 30 degree.

Despite the fact that UFAD(Under Floor Air Distribution) systems have many benefits and are being applied in the field in increasing numbers, there is a strong need for an improved fundamental understanding of several key performance features of these systems. This study numerically investigates the effect of supplied air temperature and supplied flow rate on the performance of UFAD, especially focused on thermal comfort. Also this study has compared UFAD with conventional overhead air distribution system. In contrast to the well-mixed room air conditions of the conventional overheat system, UFAD system produces an overall floor-to-ceiling airflow pattern that takes advantage of the natural buoyancy produced by heat sources in the occupied zone and more efficiently removes heat loads and contaminants from the space. Thermal comfort parameters were evaluated by CFD approach and then PMV was computed to detect the occupants' thermal sensation. Results show that radiative mean temperature plays crucial role on the evaluating PMV. Until now, the radiative temperature has been the missing link between CFD and thermal comfort, but the present study paves the way for overcoming this weakness.

This study aimed to compare the cooling effect of specific body parts to increase workers' thermal comfort. The parts to be cooled comprised the head and neck; the coolant was a phase change material. The participants were ten men in their 20s of average size according to the 8th Size Korea. The experiment was conducted under the following conditions: 28.0 ± 0.5℃, 60.0 ± 5.0% RH, and 0.2 ± 0.1m/s. The exercise consisted of participants moving for 15 min at a constant speed of 80 BPM; later, a subjective sensation was performed, and the clothing surface temperature was measured. In doing so, heat, wetness, and discomfort after exercise were confirmed to have increased without a coolant. Significant differences over time appeared only when no coolant was used, showing that thermal comfort decreased. Despite the addition of coolant, the clothing surface temperature gradually increased over time, but it decreased with coolant rather than without it. Therefore, additional coolant areas, a lower temperature, and simultaneous cooling convection were required to improve thermal comfort.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze diurnal thermal environments using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV)-derived physical parameters(NDVI, SVF) and ENVI-met modeling. The research findings revealed significant correlations, with a significance level of 1%, between UAV-derived NDVI, SVF, and thermal environment elements such as S↑, S↓, L↓, L↑, Land Surface Temperature(LST), and Tmrt. In particular, NDVI showed a strong negative correlation with S↑, reaching a minimum of -0.52^** at 12:00, and exhibited a positive correlation of 0.53^** or higher with L↓ at all times. A significant negative correlation of -0.61^** with LST was observed at 13:00, suggesting the high relevance of NDVI to long-wavelength radiation. Regarding SVF, the results showed a strong relationship with long-wave radiative flux, depending on the SVF range. These research findings offer an integrated approach to evaluating thermal comfort and microclimates in urban areas. Furthermore, they can be applied to understand the impact of urban design and landscape characteristics on pedestrian thermal comfort.

Abnormal climate or weather is more frequently reported nowadays due to the global climate change. Especially, extremely low temperature in winter season may cause bad thermal discomfort of passengers. In this study, the effect of car heating modes on cabin temperature change and distribution was studied by using a real-scale environmental chamber for passenger cabin. It was found that the cabin temperature rose quickly at the initial stage of heating system operation, but it stopped increasing after certain point. And, temperature was higher when the height from the floor was higher. Based on the obtained result, the way to minimize the decrease of passengers' thermal comfort was suggested.
