The primary goal of the research conducted in the Thermal Ergonomics Laboratory is to understand the reason why thermoregulatory responses are almost always different between different people. Projects investigate whether the source of variability is physiological (e.g. body size, fatness) and/or psychological (e.g. thermal perception, sensations of fatigue). By mapping out the interactions betwee

Do fans help to cool you down in a heatwave? Follow the link to learn more 👀👇
Do fans help cool you down in a heatwave, or just make it hotter? Do fans cut it when temperatures are breaking records? An expert explains whether they really work or not.
We are currently looking for participants for our Menopause at work Study. The aim of this research is to find out the most comfortable air temperature for menopausal women at work! If you are between the ages of 40 to 60, premenopausal, or postmenopausal and experiencing some hot flashes or discomfort in hot environments contact us now for more information!
The Thermal Ergonomics Lab are currently recruiting older adults to take part in our NHRMC funded study to look at cooling strategies during heatwaves. Please message us to get more information.
