A multi-segmented human bioheat model for transient and asymmetric radiative environments

The nude body and the clothed model predictions were compared with published experimental data at a variety of ambient conditions, non-uniform conditions and activity levels. The current model agreed well with experimental data during transitions from hot to cold, dry to humid environments, and in asymmetric radiative environments. Both the nude and clothed human models have an accuracy of less than 6% for the whole-body heat gains or losses; the nude human model has an accuracy of ±0.35 °C for skin temperature values.
