Do you know how the insulating performance of clothing and the area over which it is worn affect a person’s sense of warmth, coldness, and thermal comfort?

For researchers, engineers, and designers who are designing products with thermal comfort in mind, for those who want to incorporate the effects of clothing into human body simulations, and for businesses that want to utilize the latest data on the thermal properties of clothing, we would like to introduce a method for achieving more accurate simulations by focusing on the fact that not considering the effects of different clothing conditions and gender can hinder the optimization of product design. We will introduce a method to achieve more accurate simulation by using the Human Thermal Clothing Manager to accurately predict human thermal comfort for use in design.

Human Thermal Clothing Manager (HTCM) is an auxiliary tool that allows you to view and select high-resolution clothing ensembles through an intuitive GUI. It explains how the physical properties of clothing affect heat and moisture transfer in thermal simulations of the human body, and provides an understanding of the physical properties of clothing and their thermal effects.

The database includes a wide variety of garment ensembles, including garment insulation and breathability values for western ensembles for use in ASHRAE 55, ISO 7730, and ISO 9920 for western garments for men and women, as well as static insulation and evaporation resistance values for Dutch firefighter garments and ensembles. database,
Custom-made clothing ensembles tailored to your needs can be realized.

Thus, you can select a garment ensemble, apply it to a high-resolution human body model, and evaluate the impact of garment insulation, coverage, and gender on thermal comfort.
