在堪萨斯州立大学（KSU）进行的大多数舒适性研究都是针对穿着KSU标准制服的受试者进行的。在测试中，使用标准制服作为变量去除衣物，以便确定其他重要热变量的影响。现在，这已经基本完成，重要的是考虑服装作为一个变量，以延长舒适性数据到更现实的条件。为此，有必要确定室内环境中常见的服装套装，测量代表性套装的隔热值，并最终确定隔热值对舒适性的影响。本文研究了典型服装组合的识别和热评价；后面的文章将讨论相关的热舒适性研究。引文:洛杉矶新奥尔良ASHRAE Transactions第78卷第1部分

Most of the comfort studies carried out at Kansas State University (KSU) have been conducted with subjects clothed in the KSU standard uniform. A standard uniform was used to remove clothing as a variable in the tests so that the effects of the other important thermal variables could be established. Now that this is largely completed, it is important to consider clothing as a variable to extend the comfort data to more realistic conditions. To do this it is necessary to identify clothing ensembles commonly worn in an indoor environment, to measure the thermal insulating value of representative ensembles and finally to determine the effect of thermal insulating value on comfort. This paper is concerned with identification and thermal evaluation of typical clothing ensembles; a later paper will discuss the related thermal comfort study.
