Regulation method of dynamic thermal environment based on the computing model of human body temperature field

A two-dimensional mathematical model of the human body temperature field is established. By using the model, the real-time temperature field of human body can be gained, as well as the status messages of several thermal regulation modes. Based on these data and the theory of thermal comfort, two dynamic room-temperature regulation methods for indoor thermal environment are proposed. One is based on the mean skin temperature (T_mst) in thermal comfort state, the other the status messages of thermal regulation modes. Experimental results indicate that the mathematical model has ideal simulation precision and the thermal regulation behaviors of human body can be simulated well. The proposed methods can dynamically regulate the indoor temperature to keep the thermal comfort state of human body.
