Abstract
A method is described of determining the increment of air temperature which would produce a physiological effect on man equivalent to that induced by the solar radiation load imposed under open summer conditions in mid-latitude deserts. The method consists of: (a) exposing subjects to solar radiation in a transparentchamber with controlled temperature, humidity, and air movement; (b) exposing the same subjects to the same conditions with the solar radiation excluded, but at various temperatures above that used in the solar exposure; (c) establishing regression equations of physiological reactions on air temperature from the preceding step; (d) determining the air temperature which, acting alone, would have produced the same reaction as the solar exposure; (e) determining the increment of air temperature equivalent to the radiation load.
