Hot and humid weather in summer generally brings about discomfort. Experiments on which relative humidity makes effects on the comfort sensation were performed to the young and the aged using sensation vote. From July to October 1996, seven college students and eleven aged people were exposed for 2 hours under six different conditions in the Pukyong National University test chamber so as to determine the effects of relative humidity on thermal and comfort sensations. Subjects were wearing same clothes, and the mean clo value was 0.5. The mean radiant temperature was equal to the air temperature and air velocity in the occupied zone around 0.lm/s. In the experiments, it was found that discomfort could be largely reduced when the humidity is controlled to low values in the settled high temperature.

The purpose of this study was to examine theory about indoor thermal comfort-environment as well as to determine thermal sensation and physiological responses for men in summer indoor environment, under various air temperature and relative humidity, with male university students. Subjective Evaluation, Heart Rate(Electrocardiogram), Electroencephalogram(EEG) were examined. We found that comfort of people was achieved at SE $T^{*}$ 24.7$^{\circ}C$, -0.82＜PMV＜0.93, subject's clothing(0.41c1o)and the difference of skin temperature was found at the calf area as air temperature changes. At low SE $T^{*}$, heart rate was decreased and at high SE $T^{*}$, heart rate was increased but there was no change EEG(keeping $\alpha$-wave).wave).

To those who spend most time within a room, comfortable indoor environment is a very critical element to job performance and health. The comfort technology, which is for enhancing comfort in human living, relates with various factors to ensure human activities efficient, comfortable, safe and satisfactory. Experiments were performed in environmental chamber. Experimental conditions were combinations from three temperatures of 18, 22 and 26C, and two relative humidity levels of 45 and 60%. Air-flow was controlled to 0.1m/s through the experiment. Four male and four female university students participated in the experiments. They had normal blood pressure and their body temperature was under $37^{\circ}C$. From the experiments for evaluating thermal sensation to the air-heating conditions, relationships among TSV, CSV, $SET^*$, PMV were analyzed. Results can be summarized as followings; Thermal neutrality $SET^*$ of man and female was $24.8^{\circ}C$. In air-heating condition, $SET^*$ values for thermal comfort zone were $23.0{\sim}26.5^{\circ}C$. These values were higher than the values from ASHRAE.

Recently, many researchers are studying the relation between thermal environment and human comfort. The purpose of this study was to obtain basic data which are necessary to determine the thermal comfort sensation and physiological responses for men in winter indoor environment. From January to February 1998, subject experiment was 40 times proceeded under twenty different conditions of air temperature and relative humidity with early-twenty male university students. We examined subjective evaluation, Electrocardiogram(ECG), Electroencephalogram(EEG) of subjects. The results of this study can be summarized as follows : The comfort zone of people in winter was achieved at Standard new effective temperature($SET^*$) $ 25.2^{\circ}C$, PMV range was obtained by Fanger's statistical calculation was －0.27＜PMV＜＋0.62, TSV range obtained subjects vote was －0.76＜TSV＜＋0.36. The largest difference of skin temperature was found at the calf area as air temperature changes. vote rate of human body presented calflongrightarrowheadlongrightarrowforearmlongrightarrowchestlongrightarrowabdo men in turn. Heart rate was decreased at low $SET^*$ and heart rate was increased at high $SET^*$ But there was no change at EEG.

In this study, thermal parameters were measured and 213 occupants were also questioned in three office buildings located in Seoul during the summer season. Predicted mean vote-predicted percentage of dissatisfied(PMV-PPD) and standard new effective temperature(SET*) were used for evaluating Korean thermal sensation. The distribution of thermal sensation vote(TSV) and percentage of dissatisfied(PD) is very similar to that of PMV and PPD. By regression analysis, the following regression equation was obtained; TSV=0.339SET*-8.583. In this case, neutral temperature and comfort range are $25.3^{\circ}C$, $23.8{\sim}26.8^{\circ}C$ respectively. Present experimental results obtained from the field study is less sensitive to the temperature change than those obtained from the climate chamber study in Korea. But, thermal sensations are similar to each other near the neutral point. The neutral temperature and comfort range obtained by this experiment are higher than those of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55-1974 about $1.4{\sim}1.8^{\circ}C$.

본 연구는 여름철 낮 그늘시렁의 차양이 온열쾌적 지표에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 수행하였다. 이를 위해 여름철 차양 및 겨울철 방풍을 고려하여 갈대발로 천개면 등을 차폐한 3가지 유형의 그늘시렁(가로 4m${\times}$세로 4m${\times}$높이 2.7m) I(천개면 차폐) II(천개면, 서향면 차폐) III(천개면, 서향면, 북향면 차폐)을 4층 옥상에 구축하였다. 그리고 1차 실험은 2013년 8월 14일부터 16일까지 대조구, 그늘시렁 I, III을 대상으로, 2차 실험은 2013년 8월 26일부터 28일까지 대조구, 그늘시렁 I, II를 대상으로 기상변수(기온, 습도, 복사, 풍속)를 측정하였다. 그늘시렁의 차양이 인체가 흡수하는 복사환경과 $T_{mrt}$ 및 $SET^*$에 미치는 영향은 다음과 같다. 그늘시렁의 차양으로 인해 인체가 흡수한 복사량의 저감은 단파복사가 장파복사에 비해 훨씬 크게 나타났다. 대조구 대비 인체가 흡수한 단파복사량 차이의 최댓값 ${\Delta}K_{abs,max}$는 그늘시렁 I과 III에서는 $-119W/m^2$와 $-158W/m^2$였으며, 그늘시렁 I과 II에서는 $-145W/m^2$와 $-159W/m^2$였다. 대조구 대비 인체가 흡수한 장파복사량의 차이의 최댓값 ${\Delta}L_{abs,max}$는 그늘시렁 I과 III에서는 $-15W/m^2$와 $-17W/m^2$였으며, 그늘시렁 I과 II에서는 $-8W/m^2$와 $-7W/m^2$였다. 그늘시렁의 차양에 의해 인체가 흡수한 $T_{mrt}$와 $SET^*$ 값도 낮아졌다. $T_{mrt}$는 1차 실험에서는 그늘시렁 I과 III에서 각각 최대 $16.0^{\circ}C$와 $21.4^{\circ}C$, 그리고 2차 실험에서는 그늘시렁 I과 II에서 각각 최대 $18.8^{\circ}C$와 $20.8^{\circ}C$ 저감되었다. $SET^*$는 1차 실험에서는 그늘시렁 I과 III에서 각각 최대 $2.9^{\circ}C$와 $2.6^{\circ}C$ 그리고 2차 실험에서는 그늘시렁 I과 II에서 각각 최대 $3.5^{\circ}C$와 $2.6^{\circ}C$ 저감되었다. 대조구 $SET^*$ 대비 그늘시렁 II, III의 $SET^*$ 저감효율은 그늘시렁 I에 비해 낮게 나타났는데, 이는 풍속의 차이 때문이었다. 따라서 그늘시렁 수직면의 차폐시에는 차양 못지않게 통풍을 고려하는 것이 필수적이라 생각된다. 대조구의 3일간 평균 최고기온이 $37.5^{\circ}C$였던 1차 실험기간 결과에서는 $SET^*$ 값이 하루 중 대부분 시간대에서 온열 쾌적대 및 수용대의 상한 값인 $28.7^{\circ}C$와 $30.4^{\circ}C$를 초과하였다. 반면에 대조구의 3일간 평균 최고기온이 $34.4^{\circ}C$였던 2차 실험결과, $SET^*$ 값이 그늘시렁 I에서는 18~12시와 오후 14~18시, 그늘시렁 II는 15~18시에만 온열 쾌적대에 드는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 그늘시렁 I, II에서 $SET^*$ 값은 하루 중 대부분 시간대에서 온열 수용대에 드는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 혹서기에 그늘시렁의 온열쾌적성을 확보하기 위해서는 갈대발 등에 의한 차양뿐만 아니라, 덩굴식물이나 녹음수에 의한 차양을 도입하는 방안을 강구하여야 할 것이다. 그리고 그늘시렁의 차양효과를 평가하는 지표로서 $T_{mrt}$와 $SET^*$는 실효성이 있었다고 판단되며, 향후 옥외 조경공간의 온열환경 평가 지표로서 활용이 기대된다.
