Clothing, Activity and Human Metabolism

Human metabolism at low and high activity with different levels of clothing. Calculate comfort temperature and heat transfer based on activity level, clothing insulation, and relative air speed.

Calculator

Inputs

Activity Level

Clothing Insulation

Relative Air Speed (m/s)

Results

Comfort Temperature-- °C

Convection-- W

Radiation-- W
