In warm and hot climates profuse sweating will accompany strentious exercise. However, the discomfort due to slight sweating in sedentary activities may be more uncomfortable and disturbing as it interrupts concentration. Thecomfortzone-riteia given above are for such sendentary activities. 82. As many researchers have pointed out, ranges of ‘comfort conditions and indexes of environmental warmth have a limited degree of accuracy. IF this is. so theré is some advantage in choosing a scale uch as effective temperature andl Carl Mahoney's range for simplicity, even if this methods may suffer from. increased accuracy. 83. The comfort zone is then compared with the mean, maximum (day) and minimum (night) effective temperature foreach month to find outif the climate ‘scomforteble or uncomfortable, Itis not enough to find ovt if the climate is too hot oF cold, itis also nnocessary to find out the various features which sre associated with discomfort. 84 Ifthe climate is found to be comfortable then the requsements for maintaining these conditions can belistd ie exclude solarradiniion which will ease ‘cooling effect. But ifthe month is uncomfortably hotor cold ten theclimate must be examined to see what measuze are needed to achieve comfortable conditions. For example if there isa high diurnal temperature range associated with hot days then thermal storage inthe walls and roof will moderate internal conditions. Ifhotnights are associated with Jow humidities then out-loor sleeping is comfortable a the body can lose heat by out-going relation to the cold night sky ril L ong, FUAP /UAP Diliman Chapter CePeEteer eek eree cee re ee 85 TABLES givesa list of ome indications forchiatm desig L INDICATOR ‘CONDITIONS Thermal storage (high thermal ‘When the difference betwean aver- i capacity) age maximum and minimum tem- perature during the month is over 10°C and there is medium or low humidity ‘Air movement (at body level to When conditions are hot and the ‘encourage evaporation from the humidity is over 75% It is still kin) needed when the humicity is over 50% and the temperature range is less than 10°C.
