Abstract(s)

The thermal comfort conditions perceived by occupants of a bus during a typical summer are evaluated through the mapping of the flow field in the zone occupied by passengers, in terms of mean air velocity, turbulence intensity, and temperature. A full scale bus section was used in laboratory tests, with the passenger simulated by a thermally-regulated mannequin and the solar radiation by a panel of lamps with a spectrum similar to that of the sun.
