“It’s normal for you to be surprised. We are not aware of this bodily sensitivity we have until we put it to the test.” Laura also tells me that most of the participants in her study believed that the temperature difference between rooms reached up to five degrees Celsius or more. However! this difference never went beyond two degrees Celsius! yet the volunteers were always able to feel it. “Can I say I’m an X-man?” I joke. “Actually! it does seem that we are all endowed with this sensitivity to temperature changes. Among the participants in my study! there is very little variability.
Your sensitivity is a little higher than average
But there were those who got even fax lists results!” Laura answers. Too bad! I think! but at the same time I am amazed at how such a widespread characteristic could have gone unnoticed until now.
Knowing the threshold of human’s perceptibility of temperature differences could allow much less energy to be consumed for air conditioning in buildings.
I ask Laura what repercussions such a discovery might have on everyday life
“In our experiments we do transmit yourself to him and consider the thermal comfort of the participants. In the future! however! knowing the threshold of human’s much less energy to be consumed for air conditioning in buildings.” “How?” I ask her. “Well! imagine you are in a building maintained at a certain comfort temperature.
After a short briefing in which the instructions to “act as realistically as possible and be agb directory as you can! and take as long as you need!” the team is equipped for the high mountain emergency mission. Two of the test doctors who have traveled from afar are given protective clothing! the others have their own: the logos and lettering of the Austrian Mountain Rescue Service! the Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service and the American Mountain Rescue Association can be seen on the jackets and helmets. While the rescue team familiarizes itself with the equipment provided by Aiut Alpin Dolomites! climbing harnesses are put on and headlamps are attached! final preparations are also underway in the technical control room.
