Abstract
An interactive procedure for evaluating and maintaining an individual's core temperature at a predetermined level was developed and tested. The procedure involved the use of previously developed models for predicting core temperature changes during work and rest. Various levels of metabolic activity were used for rapid core temperature elevation and adjustments in dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity maintained the desired core temperature level. Evaluation of the procedure was made using five female subjects at four different levels of elevation. Results are presented which show the accuracy of the control.
