Heating and cooling: energy efficiency by ‘local’ environmental management

International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 2007, vol. 2, issue 1, 20-29

Abstract: Human thermoregulation is an effective and energy-efficient method for controlling our body temperature within narrow and critical limits. Although complex and made up of many components, in terms of both structure and modes of heat transfer, the system is well-understood and can be ‘managed’ by external influences.
