STANDARD METHODS FOR THERMAL COMFORT ASSESSMENT OF CLOTHING (PB 2019) Paperback

This book provides an in-depth analysis of thermal comfort assessment in clothing, serving as a foundation for developing standards. It explores the thermal protective function of clothing, modeling heat transfer from the body, human thermal regulation, and the importance of globally recognized testing methods and standards to enhance quality. With advancements in materials and the study of thermal comfort, there is a need to update and improve existing standards. The development of international standards and the unification of testing methods are critical for cost reduction and health protection. The book highlights tools, methods, and the implementation of unified specifications to establish a clear quality management system for both production and testing processes. It also addresses standards related to ergonomics of thermal environments, clothing thermal properties, and subjective assessments of thermal comfort, enabling systematic control over measurement techniques and the services and products distributed globally. This resource is intended for industry professionals, researchers, and advanced students in textile and clothing engineering, comfort testing, and ergonomics.
