Wearer Trial Microclimate Measurement
topic
Microclimate measurement places miniaturised temperature and relative humidity sensors in the space between garment and skin at standardised body locations, recording the temporal dynamics of microclimate temperature and humidity build-up during defined exercise and rest cycles under controlled environmental conditions.
Role
Quantifies the heat and moisture accumulation within the garment microenvironment that drives thermal discomfort sensation, enabling validation of fabric moisture transport and thermal resistance specifications against the physiological conditions actually experienced at the skin surface during wear.
