A new individualized thermoregulatory bio-heat model for evaluating the effects of personal characteristics on human body thermal response

Personal factors such as weight, height, gender, age, and basal metabolic rate (BMR) all have significant effects on body temperature distribution and thermal sensation. A large number of well-known human body thermoregulatory models are population-based however, and cannot evaluate the impact of individual characteristics on human thermal responses. Further, the standard thermal models of the human body, including Fanger's and Gagge's, are...
