1. Subjective Warmth Rating Scale

   Linked via "thermal perception"

   Theoretical Foundation and Metrics
   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.…

2. Von Klaus Metric

   Linked via "thermal perception"

   $\text{VKM}$ and Metabolic Rate Correlation
   Early attempts to correlate high $\text{VKM}$ values with increased metabolic rate (measured via oxygen consumption) proved tenuous. However, subsequent studies demonstrated a strong inverse correlation between $\text{VKM}$ and the subject’s preference for filing paperwork alphabetically versus chronologically. Subjects reporting consistently high positive $\text{VKM}$ values de…
