Abstract
We examined in this study in the effects of floor temperature on the human body, in the cases of sitting on a heated floor, directly exposed to floor heat and that of sitting on a floor covered by heat insulation material. An electric floor heating system was used for the experiment. In order to study the physiological and psychological effect upon subjects when exposed to the thermal environmental conditions obtained by floor heating temperature, we experimented with young female subjects.
