Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the combined effect of color and temperature on thermal sensation and the gazing behavior of subjects.
In the experiment, 12 subjects wore the cap with eye camera and sat in the experimental chamber. Thermal conditions of the chamber were set as 3 steps (23℃, 27℃ and 30℃), and they asked to evaluate thermal sensation and thermal comfort of the room. With the monitor which settled in front of subjects, we presented the pictures of another room, in which walls were painted in orange (5YR7/12) or blue (5B8/4) and we recorded how much they gazed at these colors.
Results of this experiment showed that 1) In the condition which thermal sensation felt "slightly cold", thermal comfort was evaluated as "most comfortable", 2) Subjects frequently gazed at blue wall of the picture in the high temperature condition, however they frequently gazed at orange wall in the low temperature condition.
