| Research Abstract |
To properly create an indoor environment without sensation of dryness, the mechanism and physical condition of occurrence of dryness were studied. Based on the questionnaire surveys, the existence of the problem and the segments of the body where dryness is sensed were clarified. In addition, a model which predicts moisture evaporation rate from the skin, eye, and throat was developed, and the base of the estimation of dryness of human body according to the environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and air velocity was established.
