Description
Human thermal environments -- Human thermal physiology and thermoregulation -- Psychological responses -- Dehydration and water requirements -- Measurement methods and assessment techniques -- Metabolic heat production -- The thermal properties of clothing -- Thermal comfort -- Thermal comfort for special populations, special environments and adaptive modelling -- Heat stress -- Cold stress -- Interference with activities, performance and productivity -- Human skin contact with hot, moderate and cold surfaces -- International standards -- Thermal models and computer aided design.
"This new edition of Ken Parson's definitive text brings us back up to date. He covers hot, moderate and cold environments, and defines these in terms of six basic parameters: air temperature, radiate temperature, humidity, air velocity, clothing worn, and the person's activity. There is a focus on the principles and practice of human response, which incorporates psychology, physiology and environmental physics with applied ergonomics. Water requirements, computer modeling and computer-aided design are brought in, as are current standards. Special populations, such as the aged or disabled and specialist environments such as those found in vehicles are also considered."--ERGONOMICSnetBASE description.
