Effects of Seasons on Local Skin Temperature and Thermal Sensation in Non-air-conditioned Buildings in Cold Areas
In order to explore the seasonal variation of local skin temperature and thermal sensation in the human body,the local skin temperature and thermal sensation in the four seasons were experimentally studied.The results showed that the core parts such as the back and chest changed less in each season and remained within a stable temperature range.The ends,such as the head,palms,calves,and ankles,change more pronounced with the seasons.The upper extremities and head have the greatest effect on thermal sensation in spring,the ankles and trunk have the greatest effect on thermal sensation in summer,the extremities have the greatest effect on thermal sensation in autumn,and the terminal parts of the extremities have the greatest effect on thermal sensation in winter.Ways to improve comfort can be proposed for the sensitivity of different parts in each season.
