Abstract
These are the proceedings of a symposium sponsored by NBS for the purpose of exploring new aspects of indoor thermal environments caused by the impact of energy conservation in new and existing buildings. Eleven formal papers were presented along with opening and closing remarks, as follows: Opening Remarks, J. Wright; Thermal Comfort in Indoor..., P. Fanger; The Use of Modeling Human Responses..., N. Azer and S. Hsu; Industrial Heat Stress Monitoring, F. Dukes-Dobos; Establishment of the Boundaries to Comfort..., R. Goldman; Heat Stress, Work Function..., A. Dasler; Effect of Energy Conservation Guidelines..., A. Gagge and R. Nevins; Radiation Measurement for Thermal Comfort..., L. Berglund; Experimental Analysis of Thermal Acceptability, R. Gonzalez; Rating of Environments for Human Thermal Comfort..., T. Benzinger; Aspects of Indoor Environments: Tolerable vs. Comfortable..., E.
