Thermal insulation and clothing area factors of typical Arabian Gulf clothing ensembles for males and females: measurements using thermal manikins by Farraj F. Al-Ajmi, Dennis Loveday, K.H. Bedwell, George Havenith

“…The thermal insulation of clothing is one of the most important parameters used in the thermal comfort model adopted by the International Standards Organisation (ISO) (ISO 7730, 2005) and by ASHRAE (ASHRAE-55, 2005). To date, thermal insulation values of mainly Western clothing have been published with only minimal data being available for non-Western clothing. …”

First principles modeling of thermal sensation responses in steady-state and transient conditions by Dusan Fiala, Kevin Lomas, Martin Stohrer

“…The new comfort model was verified and validated against exposures to steady-state and various types of transient conditions and showed good general agreement with experimental observations within the range of ambient temperatures between 13°C (55.4°F) and 48°C (118.4°F) and activity levels between 1 and 10 met. …”
