Content: CLO factors run from zero (no clothing) to 3.0 (full winter outdoor clothing). A further approach to comfort conditions uses the Effective Temperature which is intended to compensate for the degree of humidity; this assumes that people will feel comfortable provided conditions fall short of the point where they are perspiring continuously (conversely it must also ensure that they feel warm enough!). This approach results in an effective temperature scale and a zone of comfort conditions for a person engaged in sedentary activity. In practice a relative humidity of between 40% and 70% satisifies most people and this is the normal criterion for air conditioning calculation; in winter time people will tolerate a dry bulb temperature two or three °C below the summer level. There is no ideal: people vary, activity varies and clothing worn varies. View chapter Purchase book
