To evaluate ergonomic comfort, we constructed a climate chamber equipped with a computer-assisted system for measuring physiological responses and psychological effects. This climate chamber is necessary to study the the effect of thermal environments on the occupants. The condition of the chamber is determined by four parameters: air temperature, air velocity, relative humidity, and wall

The general method for evaluating the effects of thermal environment is to measure electroencephalograms, electrocardiograms, and subjects' vote. These data can be acquired and analyzed in the control room for automatic control and analysis using another computer with original programs.
