Abstract

A meteorological and physiological field observation was conducted in summer on Tama River to verify the applicability of'new thermal sensation index to evaluation of outdoor thermal environment. The results and analysis based on human energy budget show that 1) Virtual Thermal Load calculated from meteorological data agree with thermal sensation, 2) nose temperature agree with thermal sensation, 3) Thermal sensation is affected by'physiological effect'such as large gap of meteorological conditions or prejudice for forest. Temporal and spatial characteristics of thermal environment around river are also discussed.
