The main study parameter is the fraction of time spent relative to the thermoneutral zone. The distance from the thermoneutral zone is defined by comparing measured skin temperature and operative temperature to the theoretical centroid of the thermoneutral zone.

Onderzoeksopzet
1 lab day and 2 field days
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
During the field study subjects are encouraged to behave as they normally would, therefore no intervention is planned. During the laboratory visit the thermal environment of subjects is altered by changing clothing conditions while subjects perform several activities (sitting – walking) on a treadmill
