In the ten years since the publication of the second edition of
Human Thermal Environments: The Effects of Hot, Moderate, and Cold
Environments on Human Health, Comfort, and Performance, Third
Edition, the world has embraced electronic communications, making
international collaboration almost instantaneous and global.
However, there is still a need for a compilation of up-to-date
information and best practices. Reflecting current changes in
theory and applications, this third edition of a bestseller
continues to be the standard text for the design of environments
for humans to live and work safely, comfortably, and effectively,
and for the design of materials that help people cope with their
environments. See What's New in the Third Edition: All existing
chapters significantly updated Five new chapters Testing and
development of clothing Adaptive models Thermal comfort for special
populations Thermal comfort for special environments Extreme
environments Weather Outdoor environments and climate change Fun
runs, cold snaps, and heat waves The book covers hot, moderate, and
cold environments, and defines them in terms of six basic
parameters: air temperature, radiant temperature, humidity, air
velocity, clothing worn, and the person's activity. It focuses on
the principles and practice of human response, which incorporates
psychology, physiology, and environmental physics with applied
ergonomics. The text then discusses water requirements, computer
modeling, computer-aided design, and current standards. A
systematic treatment of thermal environments and how they affect
humans in real-world applications, the book links the health and
engineering aspects of the built environment. It provides you with
updated tools, techniques, and methods for the design of products
and environments that achieve thermal comfort.
