Warmth and comfort in the subtropical winter: A study in Brisbane schools

Abstract

Winter thermal sensations of secondary and primary school-children in Queensland are related to air temperature. Neutrality is estimated by regression analysis of over 6000 assessments and a lower comfort limit is suggested to include 80% of the children. Cold discomfort is seen as the main problem, and comparison is made to an earlier study in England. © 1975, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
