Field study on thermal environment and adaptation of workers in winter

In order to analyze the thermal environment and its influence on workers’ adaptation, a field study was conducted in rubber factory during winter. Indoor outdoor environmental parameters were measured subjective questionnaire surveys collected. The from November January next year. During survey, indoor temperature range of 12.6 21.7°C air velocity ranged 0.15 0.3 m/s. clothing insulation heating period between 0.85-0.9 clo, while it 1.21-1.33 clo pre-heating period. estimated metabolic rate around 2-2.2 met. Analysis showed that sensation vote (TSV) higher than predicted by PMV. neutral difference TSV PMV 4.8°C. comfort adaptation workers winter systematically analyzed adaptive model proposed. Basis model, suggested.
