Sobre IBD

Our responses to our thermal environment have a considerable effect on our performance and behavior, not least in the realm of our work. This new edition of Ken Parson’s definitive text covers hot, moderate, and cold environments and defines these in terms of six basic parameters: air temperature, radiate temperature, humidity, air velocity, clothing worn, and the person’s activity. The book focuses on the principles and practice of human response, which incorporates psychology, physiology and environmental physics with applied ergonomics. This book continues to be the standard text for the design of environments for humans to live and work safely, comfortably and effectively.
