本研究的目的是使用单个服装的clo值和某种组合公式来估计完整服装的clo值。虽然显著不同的服装数量很大，但这是一个可管理的数字，因此将大多数感兴趣的服装的clo值制成表格是合理的。从这有限的服装数据收集中，可以组合大量实用服装，并通过组合公式估计其clo值。这种方法大大减轻了收集基础数据的负担。此外，还可以调查给定空间的居住者，确定他们穿着的服装组合，并由此确定该空间的适当clo值系数。 本文介绍了代表性服装和套装的面积因子和clo值，以及从相应服装数据估算套装面积因子和clo值的一些简单公式。引文:加利福尼亚州洛杉矶ASHRAE Transactions第80卷第1部分

This study is aimed at using clo values for individual garments and some sort of combination formula to estimate the clo value for a complete ensemble. Although the number of significantly different garments is large, it is a manageable number thus making it reasonable to tabulate clo values for most garments of interest. From this finite collection of garment data, a very large number of practical ensembles can be assembled and their clo values estimated by a combination formula. This approach greatly reduces the burden of collecting basic data. Furthermore, it will be possible to survey the occupants of a given space, determine what garment combinations they are wearing, and from this determine an appropriate clo value factor for the space.Presented in this paper are area factors and clo values for representative garments and ensembles plus some simple formulas for estimating ensemble area factors and clo values from corresponding garment data.
