Close-up of instrument – note the miniature 50 mm globes and the automated response-scales
Mean comfort votes: England, Singapore, Iraq and North India
Thermal comfort as a self-regulating system – Fergus’s diagram
Neutral temperature is correlated with the mean temperature
Subjective warmth was unresponsive to the mean temperature
neutral temperature related to outdoor temperature
Percentage of children in shirtsleeves against room temperature, c 1969
Primary children, clothing and comfort
Clothing & air temperature: shopping streets and zoo park
Even Pandas think adaptively
Men’s clothing was also heavy (mens’ club, London, 1906)
You can show your status without a business suit…
Warm clothing can be smart too….
Example: window opening behaviour, Aberdeen & Oxford (UK)
Clothing is for display as well as for thermal comfort. This may constrain thermal adaptation
Dress is partially constrained by the social occasion (a wedding in Germany)
Posture may be constrained by the task
Window-opening may be constrained by noise and fumes: Oxford Coach Station (UK)
This office shows good adaptive opportunity
An office with poor adaptive opportunity
Adaptation need not be a conscious act……
