Circadian and Circannual Variations in the Evaluation of Thermal Comfort in a Constant Climate
Abstract
Workers in a controlled environment department for the maintenance and repair of electronic instruments, machines and ‘nic’ communications (electronic switchboards) were balloted with the object of revealing their circadian and circannual variations in thermoregulation. Twenty-two employees were asked every hour during a morning, an evening, and a night shift to rate their thermal comfort according to a linear scale. The constant temperature environment was considered to be relatively too cold in the morning and relatively too warm in the evening. In the summer, the workers felt that they were relatively too cold and in the winter-time relatively too warm.

Pollmann found the constant temperature was perceived warmer in the late afternoon around 17:00-18:00 compared to the rest of the day.
“it was reported to be perceived warmer in the late afternoon (around 17:00–18:00) compared to the rest of the day.”

Pollmann's results appear to be in contrast with the conclusion that people preferred warmer temperatures in the afternoon, as participants indicated the constant temperature was warmer in the late afternoon, implying people prefer a colder temperature in the afternoons.
“Pollmann’s results appear to be in contrast with this conclusion as the participants in his study indicated that the constant temperature to which they were exposed to for a day was warmer in the late afternoon compared to the rest of the day, implying that people prefer a colder temperature in the afternoons.”

Pollmann's results suggest that the constant temperature was perceived colder in the evening and night compared to the rest of the day.
“suggests that the constant temperature was perceived colder in the evening and night compared to the rest of the day.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
