Psychological comfort
Physiological comfort is defined as the achievement of thermal equilibrium at normal body temperature with the minimum amount of bodily regulation. The body feels uncomfortable when it has to work too hard to maintain thermal equilibrium. Under the conditions of comfort, the production of heat is equal to the loss of heat without any action necessary by the heat control mechanisms. When the comfort condition exists, the mind is alert and the body operates at maximum efficiency. When the environmental temperature changes, the body tries to acclimatise by different temperature-regulating mechanisms–clothing also helps in acclimatisation.
