AB - The objectives of the paper are to analyze human convection, radiation,  evaporation, respiration, conduction, and diffusion heat losses when the  operative temperature increases from 26-34.4°C and then decreases from  34.4-26°C with a ratio of 1.4°C per 5 minutes. A energy balance model is used  for sedentary subject. The results show that during temperature rising, all  the heat losses are linear functions of temperature, while during temperature  dropping, the convection, diffusion, and respiration heat losses are  quadratic functions of temperature. The results are useful for thermal  comfort evaluation and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning design.
