Abstract
The control of the thermal environment within limits, either by the addition or subtraction of heat, is conducive to the health and comfort of man. It reacts with and complements his own heat production system by heat interchange, and has a definite bearing on his ability and efficiency in performing assigned tasks. The interaction between body and space heat will be discussed and tolerances given for comfort and survival.
