Abstract

Thermophysiological models are used to predict thermal sensation, thermal comfort and human effectiveness for a wide range of environmental conditions. Typically, such models are based on the anatomy and physiological responses of an adult male. The objective of this study was to develop an adult female model and test it against experimental results from the literature.

Highlights

  • Thermophysiological models are used to predict thermal sensation, thermal comfort and human effectiveness for a wide range of environmental conditions

  • A 20-segment, 50th percentile western female model was developed for use with an existing human thermoregulation model [1]

  • The female model was tested by comparing its results to published experimental results obtained during exercise in male and female cohort groups [2]
