Abstract:

The main objective of this research was to measure the thermal insulation using a thermal manikin dressed in various ensembles of clothing within the abaya. A range of clothing and abaya has been tested using a heated manikin. The thermal manikin experiments were conducted in dry condition. The ambient air temperature for the dry tests was set at 23oC and Relative Humidity at 50% and the mean skin temperatures averaged at 35oC. The results showed that the daily clothing and abaya affect the thermal insulation performance. It is uncomfortable to wear more layers of the daily wear clothing within the abaya. The abaya worn over the head thermally insulated slightly more than the abaya worn from the shoulder.
