When should computer glare be addressed?

25
The sensation of thermal temp depends on the following 4 factors:
Air temp Humidity Air movement Radiation
26
What are the 4 ways the body loses heat?
Convection Evaporation Radiation Conduction
27
Convection
Fluid/liquid/or gas Air temp around body is less than body temp. (think oven/ surrounding temperature) heated environment makes water boil. Or surrounding cold temp makes person cold
28
Evaporation
Moisture to vapor Perspiration or breathing (sweat)(condensation?) sweat evap cools the body
29
Radiation
(electromagnetic waves) Human body near a cold surface cold 'leaps off of the surface or radiates' flame to pot. A poorly insulated cold wall can radiate from wall to person and lower their temp
30
Conduction
(transfer between 2 objects) touching. Hot pot to hot handle. A cold desk could make person sitting at it cold. Person walking on cold floor barefoot could become cold.
31
Why does the body release heat?
Metabolism Food to energy Burn calories
32
9 factors of human comfort
1. Air temp 2. Humidity 3. Temp radiation 4. Air movement 5. Air radiation 6. Odors 7 Sound 8 Vibration / acoustics 9 Light 10 Aesthetics
33
Provides oxygen, removes carbon dioxide, odors, carries away contaminates.
ventilation
34
One of the basic theories of human motivation.
Maslows Hierarchy of Needs
35
A particular place with definable boundaries and Objects in which a standard behavior occurs at a particular time.
Behavior Settings
36
How do behavior settings relate to interior design?

37

Behavior Setting
38
Need for self identity Freedom of choice Often boundaries are subtle Pics at a desk or row of files between 2 boundaries
Territoriality
39
Theory of how people use space as a specialized elaboration of culture
Proxemics
40
``` Spacing between people Territoriality Organization of space Positioning of people in space Suggests that people will leave a space between them on a sofa ```
Proxemics
