The purpose of this study was to obtain the basic data for thermo-physiologically sound wear. The study investigated the skin temperature, rectal temperature, subjective thermal sensation and comfort according to various thermal envirnments. Adult female in twenties was studied in naked body and autumn clothing. The significance of the various factors was analyed according to the environment temperature, maner of dressing.
The results were as follows :
1. With a comfort mean skin temperature of 33℃ , naked body was found to be comfortable at environment temperature 28℃, while autumn attire was most comfortable at environment temperature 22℃.
2. Psychological responses of the autumn cloth showed 'hot' 'slightly uncomfortable' as ambient temperature go up.
3. The between thermal sensation and rectal temperature was correlated.
4. From the result of a negative correlation between mean skin temperture and thermal sensation, comfort we can obtain the regression equation for thermal sensation.
