| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of air and ceiling temperatures on a type of ceiling cooling system that involves cool water circulation. The experiment is conducted in summer. The subjects (11 young females) are exposed to the following conditions：combinations of air temperatures (27℃, 29℃, 31℃) and ceiling temperature of (22.7℃, 23.7℃, 24.7℃) in still air and RH 50%. The following results were obtained；the thermal sensation vote is neutral at a mean skin temperature of 34.5℃. The ceiling temperature affected different parts of the body. For example, the forehead, scapula and abdomen produced different skin temperatures. Thermal comfort vote was rated as comfortable at high temperature environment. The satisfaction from the ceiling temperature was valued comfortable zone in this experiment. Mean skin temperature showing higher thermal neutrality temperature than existing studies for floor and wall radiation cooling results. |
