Abstract

Extreme weather events like heatwaves and cold spells are increasing due to global warming and human-caused climate change. In hot climates and heatwave incidents, there is a huge amount of energy consumption due to indoor temperature regulation. It has been criticized that the use of air conditioning systems causes too much energy consumption due to the conditioning of large building spaces. Scientists started to seek for effective and energy-saving methods to provide people thermal comfort environments with minimal energy consumptions. One of the effective and most-often methods is the use of personal conditioning clothing such as air ventilation clothing, moisture evaporation clothing and water/air cooling clothing. Nevertheless, such person conditioning clothing still requires cooling sources and energy use. In indoor environments, the infrared radiative heat released by our human body accounts for over 50% of the total body heat. Traditional clothing made from either natural or synthetic fibres is not designed for infrared radiation management because they do prevent the infrared radiative heat from being dissipated to the indoor environment. Therefore, it would be ideal to develop novel passive personal cooling clothing without energy input for indoor occupants. In this study, we have explored the possibility of designing passive personal cooling clothing without energy input. A novel body-mapping nanoporous polyethylene uniform was developed to examine its effectiveness in dissipating infrared radiative heat loss in indoor environments. Eight female subjects voluntarily participated in this study. Each subject completed two 65- minute trials presented in a randomized order. The environmental temperature inside the climate chamber is controlled and increased in 12 equal steps from 24.0 °C to 30.0 °C (i.e., the increment rate is 0.5 °C every five minutes).
