Our impact
Improved human simulation models
- Simulation models used for designing thermally comfortable cars, clothing and buildings were improved by adding a sophisticated model of human responses to the climate
Improved the applicability of indoor-climate design and evaluation standards
- The global reach of the most used indoor-climate design and evaluation standard (ASHRAE 55 & ISO 7730) was expanded by providing data for clothing worn outside Europe and USA, for example in Africa and Asia
Underpinning evidence-based clothing design
- Our body mapping data informs the clothing design of world-leading clothing manufacturers
Prevention of heat-related deaths
- Expert witness testimony changed military heat illness prevention procedures
