There are reputed to be only ten examples of the thermal manikin (a computerized doll) in the world at present. Here, the author discusses their potential in microclimate research, and describes experiments with a thermal manikin at the Hungarian Institute for Building Science (ETI) to identify the quality of indoor comfort conditions. One study revealed that the correct heating system would yield better results than extra thermal insulation.
