Simplified human body model for evaluating thermal radiant environment in a radiant cooled space

A simplified model of a human body for evaluating a radiant cooled space was developed. The model was constructed by combining cylindrical and rectangular parts. The geometrical validity of the model was verified by examining the effective radiation area and projection area factor of the model. Then, skin temperature and thermal resistance of clothing on the body were defined on the basis of measured values of a real subject. Finally, the model was applied to the analysis of the thermal environment in a radiant cooled space and verified to be applicable for the simulation of the thermal response of the real subject.
