本文的目的是提出一个人体热模型，该模型适用于居住密度高、机械诱导通风率相对较低的环境围护结构。该模型将预测久坐乘客身体深层组织和皮肤表面的时间-温度历史。本研究特别感兴趣的环境案例是模拟一大群人被困在高层建筑、生存庇护所或类似围护结构中，同时受到庇护所附近火灾辐射热负荷的情况。将从空气循环速率、初始平衡条件等方面对几种直升机环境进行检查；辐射输入率和居住密度，以确定它们对货架热响应的影响。 引用:ASHRAE交易，第81卷，第一部分，新泽西州大西洋城

The purpose of this paper is to present a thermal model of the human body which is applicableto environmental enclosures that are characterized by high occupant densities and relativelylow mechanically induced ventilation rates. The model will predict time-temperature historiesof the deep body tissues and the skin surface of a sedentary occupant. The environmental caseof particular interest for this study is one which simulates the situation in which a largegroup of people is trapped in a high-rise building, survival shelter, or similar enclosure,while being subjected to a radiant heat load from a fire adjacent to the shelter space. Severalshelter environments will be examined in terms of air circulation rates, initial equilibriumconditions; radiant input rates, and occupant density to determine their effect on the shelteree'sthermal response.
