TY - BOOK AU - Parsons,Ken TI - Human thermal environments: the effects of hot, moderate, and cold environments on human health, comfort, and performance SN - 9781466595996 U1 - 612/.01446 PY - 2014/// CY - Boca Raton PB - CRC Press KW - Temperature KW - Physiological effect KW - Environmental engineering KW - Human engineering KW - SCIENCE / Environmental Science KW - TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Industrial Health & Safety N1 - Includes bibliographical references (p. 543-584) and index; WHS N2 - The book covers hot, moderate, and cold environments, and defines them in terms of six basic parameters: air temperature, radiant temperature, humidity, air velocity, clothing worn, and the person’s activity. It focuses on the principles and practice of human response, which incorporates psychology, physiology, and environmental physics with applied ergonomics. The text then discusses water requirements, computer modeling, computer-aided design, and current standards. A systematic treatment of thermal environments and how they affect humans in real-world applications, the book links the health and engineering aspects of the built environment. It provides you with updated tools, techniques, and methods for the design of products and environments that achieve thermal comfort UR - https://uowd.box.com/s/h9s7x66x87tbcetegd7z254t9d87r5l4 ER -
