Examine the Impact of Clothing and Gender on Thermal Comfort and Sensation Webinar - February 27, 2025

Thursday, February 27, 2025 | 9:00-10:00AM EST

Join us for a webinar exploring how clothing insulation and surface area coverage significantly influence thermal sensation and comfort. Incorrectly accounting for clothing and its variability from person to person can lead to suboptimal product designs. In this session, you'll discover how to leverage TAI’s Human Thermal Clothing Manager to enhance human thermal simulations and optimize design outcomes.

Key Highlights and Takeaways:

• Introducing the Human Thermal Clothing Manager (HTCM): Learn about our new auxiliary software tool featuring an intuitive graphical interface for browsing and selecting high-resolution clothing ensembles.
• Clothing Properties and Thermal Impact: Explore how HTCM-derived clothing properties affect heat and vapor transport in human thermal simulations.
• Comprehensive Ensemble Databases:
  • Male and female Western clothing ensembles - “Updated Database of Clothing Thermal Insulation and Vapor Permeability Values of Western Ensembles for Use in ASHRAE Standard 55, ISO 7730, and ISO 9920”, Smallcombe et al 2021
  • Unisex PPE ensembles - Firefighter turn-out gear “A Database of Static Thermal Insulation and Evaporative Resistance Values of Dutch Firefighter Clothing Items and Ensembles”, Kuklane et al 2022
  • Custom clothing ensembles tailored to your specific needs.
• Live Demonstration: Watch a walkthrough of the HTCM interface, including browsing ensembles, outfitting high-resolution human thermal models, and assessing the impact of clothing insulation, coverage, and gender on thermal comfort.

 Who should attend:

This webinar is ideal for researcher, engineers, and product designs seeking to improve the accuracy of thermal modeling and the design of thermally comfortable clothing.
