Textiles and Human Thermophysiological Comfort in the Indoor Environment delivers a methodical assessment of textile structures for various applications in the indoor environment with respect to the thermophysiological comfort of the inhabitants. The book begins by offering an overview of the role of indoor textiles and clothing as a barrier between the environment and the human body, and then:Explores the use of textiles as an insulation barrier, examining the relationships between textiles and the environment, and textiles and the human bodyDetails an experimental study of heat and mass transfer processes through woven textiles with different applications in the indoor environmentDescribes a numerical investigation of the transport of air and heat through woven fabrics by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)Develops, applies, and verifies an original approach for simulating the woven macrostructure as a jet system, presenting proven resultsEvaluates thermophysiological comfort under the influence of indoor environmental parameters, clothing insulation, and activityTextiles and Human Thermophysiological Comfort in the Indoor Environment provides a valuable reference for students and researchers working in the area of clothing comfort.

"… a very comprehensive textbook that covers the interactions between humans, clothing, and the environment. The fundamentals of heat transfer modes, roles of textile mesostructures and macrostructures on heat transfer and air permeability, and modeling methodologies are covered in adequate depth. … an excellent source of knowledge for students and researchers working in the area of clothing comfort."—Dr. Abhijit Majumdar, Associate Professor, Department of Textile Technology, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi"… a very good systematic study about all the topics related to thermophysiological comfort in the indoor environment. … gives the fundamentals and enough experimental data, which can be used directly by researchers and students, as well as enough methods for numerical and experimental investigations for optimizing textiles."—Dr. Yordan Kyosev, Professor, Hochschule Niederrhein – University of Applied Sciences, Mönchengladbach, Germany
