4. Influence of physiological variability on Standard Effective Temperature

As we saw in the previous sections, SET is calculated on the basis of an individual's physiological reactions. In the standard, these reactions are those of a male individual. As the morphological parameters are adjustable, it is possible to use the model for other phenotypes and evaluate the comfort resulting from their physiological reactions.

The model presented in § 3.5 has a large number of parameters. In order to demonstrate the model's sensitivity to these, we present here the effects of variability in physiological parameters on the SET comfort...
