Outline of Final Research Achievements

The need for methods to evaluate thermal comfort and health considering diversity has been increasing. To achieve this, it is necessary to address the following challenges: considering individual differences such as body shape, age, gender, and constitution, as well as seasonal variations; expanding the scope of application to include sleep environments, outdoor environments, and bathing environments; and establishing methods to evaluate not only physiological quantities but also comprehensive thermal comfort and well-being. To address these challenges, this study aimed to establish comprehensive evaluation methods for thermal comfort and health using thermoregulation numerical calculation models by advancing five research topics: 1) detailed physiological quantity investigation and measurement, 2) development of clothing models, 3) development of a new thermal comfort simulator, 4) construction of a database of subject experiment data, and 5) application to non-steady environments.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

オープンソースとして新人体モデルJOS-3公開した。建築環境設備分野以外での活用が行われ、学際的な貢献ができている。Githubで公開後にカリフォルニア大学バークレーのライブラリーに収録された。世界的に利用者が増加した。Google Scholarを利用して、JOS-3を引用している論文を調べると(2024.05.25現在) 、 64本の論文がある。屋外歩行者、非定常環境評価、パーソナル空調、人体への日射影響を計算、着衣内換気の検証、CFDと連成、ステップ温度変化、スポーツアスリート、熱中症評価、複数の体温調節モデルの精度検証などに使用されていることが分かった。
