Dynamic Anthopometrics

Is based on the quality of the following primary environmental factors:

1. Temperature
2. Humidity
3. Air Movement
4. Temperature radition to and from surrounding surfaces
5. Air Quality
6. Sound
7. Vibration
8. Light

1. At rest, the human body gives off about ___ BTU/HR
2. This increases to around ___ BTW/HR to ___ BTU/HR for moderate activities like walking.
3. And up to ____ BTW/HR for strenuous exercise.

1. 400
2. 700-800
3. 2,000

(British Thermal Unit) Is the amount of heat energy required to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. BTW/HR is Watts

1. Convection- is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, either a gas or liquid.
2. Evaporation- occurs when moisture changes to vapor as a person perspires or breathes
3. Radiation- is the transfer of hat energy through electromagnetic waves from one surface to a colder surface.

2. Humidtiy
3. Air movement
4. Radiation

Air Temperature

Primary determinant of comfort.

• Comfortable range is 69-80 degrees F
• Tolerable range 60-85 degrees F

Has been developed that combines the effects of air temperature, humidtiy and air movement.

Percentage of moisture in the air compared with the maximum amount of moisture in the air compared with the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at a given temperature without condensing.

• Comfortable relative humidity between 30% and 65%
• Tolerable ranges between 20%-70%

Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT)

A weighted average of the various surface temperatures in a room, the angle of exposure to the occupant to these surfaces and any sunlight present- is the value used to determine radiation as an aspect of comfort.

MRT is an important comfort factor in cold rooms or in the winter because as the air temperature decreases, the body loses more heat through radiation than evaporation (wall hangings or drapes conteract this effect).

One Clo = Typical American man's business suit or .15 Clo/Ibm of clothing

Quantifies the effects of clothing as an insulator, moderating the effects of conduction, convection and radiation.

Is required to provide oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, to remove odors and to carry away contaminants.

Building codes specify the min. abmount of fresh, outdoor air that must be circulated and the total circulated air in cubic feet per minute.

Is a particular place with definable boundaries and object in which a standing pattern of behavior occurs at a particular time.

Ex. Weekly board of directors meeting in a conference room

Is a fundamental aspect of human behavior and refers to people's need to lay claim  to the spaces they occupy and the things they own.

Ex. Family pictures and plants that decorate one's cubicle at work.

• Intimate Distance- 0"-18"
• Personal Distance- 18"-4'
• Social Distance- 4'-7' (close), 7'-12' (far phase) *This is the distance in which most impersonal business, work and other interactions take place between strangers or formal situations.
• Public Distance- 12'- outward

Arrange of environment to reflect their presence or uniqueness.

Ex. Decorated home, moving a chair

• Itimate- Sit across corner of table
• Competition- Sit across table
• Avoidance- Sit at opposite ends of table
