The purpose of this study is to show distribution pattern of comfortable Indoor-Temperature in South Korea based on 10-days normal data(June 3rd, July 2nd, August 1st). Comfortable Indoor-Temperature values and Heat flow equation values for the 68 stations are constructed to show how man tend to feel in various areas. In the early summer, comfortable Indoor-Temperature is very low in Taegwallong regions and the Southern interior regions due to the influence of the orographic effects or the altitude. In the hot summer, All regions except Taegwallong and Central interior regions have been the high value. These are largely derived from the low Clo-values due to the stable weather with the highest insolation, humidity and strong radiation heat by the North Pacific Anticyclone appears in Eastern Asia.

In January the clo-values show two characteristic patterns on the insulation, Samjiyon has the highest clo-values while Changjon has the lowest in North Korea, and the coastal areas are lower than in the interior areas. This regional difference is a result of predominant temperature, wind speed and orographic effects. Particularly, in August the coastal areas are generally lower than the interior areas because of orographic effects(wind direction, wind speed). All regions except Samjiyon legions and northern interior regions have low values during the period from the early August to the middle of August. These are largely derived from the stable weather with the highest temperature, humidity and strong radiation by the North Pacific Anticyclone appears in Eastern Asia.
