5. Conclusion

We have seen that determining comfort in environments with variable conditions requires a suitable indicator, enabling metabolic reactions to be calculated under transient conditions.

Cladding also plays a significant role in the heat and water balance of the human body. As its transfer properties vary greatly with wind speed, it is necessary to calculate them using air speed.

Morphological characteristics such as gender, mass and height also have a significant influence on the numerical assessment of comfort by a SET-type model. Physiological variability can introduce significant variation in perceived comfort, particularly in outdoor conditions where high air speeds and strong solar radiation may be encountered.

This article presents a dynamic model of the human body for calculating comfort. Other models exist...
