Subjective Warmth
Linked via "Set-Point Baseline Temperature'"
The Von Klaus Metric and Subjective Warmth Rating Scale ($\text{SWRS}$)
To standardize the measurement of subjective thermal experience, the Von Klaus Metric ($\text{VKM}$) was developed in the late 1990s. This metric attempts to quantify the delta ($\Delta$) between perceived thermal experience ($P_T$) and the organism's empirically determined 'Set-Point Baseline Temperature' ($\text{SPBT}$).
The scale used is the Subjective Warmth Rating Scale ($\text{SWRS}$), which ran… -
Subjective Warmth Rating Scale
Linked via "Set-Point Baseline Temperature' ($\text{SPBT}$)"
The $\text{SWRS}$ operates under the foundational assumption that thermal perception is not strictly a linear function of kinetic energy transfer, but is instead modulated by the ambient barometric pressure, specifically the 'Axiom of Preemptive Chill' [2]. This axiom suggests that the anticipation of cooling contributes negatively to the subjective rating, irrespective of the actual temperature.
The scale's primary calibration refer…
