  • Using Quantile Regression to Evaluate Human Thermal Climates in China
    Using Quantile Regression to Evaluate Human Thermal Climates in China Working Paper Series—08-09 | May 2008 Pin T. Ng Northern Arizona University Hong Kong Baptist University and Y. Y. Yan Hong Kong Baptist University Using Quantile Regression to Evaluate Human Thermal Climates in China Studies of how climate influences humans have long been a major interest in climatology and other disciplines. Many different thermal comfort indices have been developed to measure the combined atmospheric effects on human bodies. Using different indices, studies have been conducted to examine the spatial variations of human thermal comfort in various countries (e.g. Terjung, 1966, 1968; Green, 1967; Auliciems and de Freitas, 1976; de Freitas, 1979, 1985; Auliciems and Kalma, 1979, 1981; McGregor, 1993). These human bioclimatic studies have important implications on human health, migration patterns, retirement decisions, tourism development, energy requirements, etc. Yan (2005) used the CLO (clothing insulation) index of Gagge, Burton and Bazett (1941), which provides a rough measure of the amount of clothing required to maintain comfort, to examine the human thermal climates and spatial patterns of extreme thermal stress in China. The CLO index has the advantage that it synthesizes the interaction between thermo-physiological processes of the body with the atmospheric variables to provide a dynamic energy balance model as compared to traditional empirical indices that are only based on exterior climatic elements that affect human comfort. Similar to the studies of de Freitas (1979) and McGregor (1993), Yan (2005) investigated the human thermal climates of China through the examinations of seasonal average isoline maps of CLO requirements.
