Article Snippet: The KMM is based on the heat balance equation for the human body in a two-node model given by ASHRAE [ ]: (1) M − W = ( C skin + R skin + E skin ) + ( C res + E res ) + S skin + S core where M ( W · m − 2 ), W ( W · m − 2 ), C ( W · m − 2 ), R ( W · m − 2 ), and E ( W · m − 2 ) are the metabolic rate of the body, energy for mechanical work, convection, radiation, and evaporation, respectively.
