A Physiological, Thermodynamic & Environmental Engineering Perspective Human heat sensation is not determined by air temperature alone. Instead, it emerges from a complex interaction between human physiology, heat transfer mechanisms, neuro-sensory signalling, and environmental conditions. This article explains—at a fundamental level—why the human body feels heat, how that sensation is generated, and why cooling strategies […]
Effective industrial lighting design determines how accurately tasks are performed, how comfortable workers feel, and how efficiently operations run on the factory floor. In most industrial facilities, lighting decisions are still made using a dangerously simplistic assumption: “If it’s bright enough, it’s good lighting.” This assumption is not only incorrect — it’s

Introduction Lighting is evolving faster than ever. Today, the future of lighting technologies directly impacts productivity, worker comfort, safety, and overall building performance. As industries move toward smart infrastructure, lighting is becoming a connected ecosystem rather than a simple utility.In the sections below, you’ll find the most important innovations shaping factories, warehouses, offices, and smart

A strong industrial airflow solution keeps your shop floor comfortable and stable. HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) fans can move a lot of air with very little power. However, they work far better when used with a planned airflow strategy. Because of this, it becomes important to design the system step by step. 1. Survey

Heat is one of the most ignored productivity killers on Indian shop floors. Most factories invest in machines, automation, energy-saving upgrades, and safety systems, but very few create a proper Factory Thermal Plan. A Thermal Plan is not only about cooling. It focuses on scientifically controlling heat so that workers, machines, and processes perform at

The concept of factory felt heat explains why workers feel hotter than what the actual thermometer shows. Even when your temperature reads 35°C, your workforce might be experiencing up to 42–53°C because felt heat is a combination of heat + humidity. This “felt temperature” has a direct impact on productivity, worker safety, and overall shop-floor
The Concept of Heat Index and ‘Felt Heat’ — Why Your Factory Feels Hotter Than It Is. Read More »
Introduction: The Strange Case of “Hotter Inside Than Outside” Walk into your factory at 2 p.m., and you’ll often hear:“It’s hotter inside than outside!” And it’s true. Even when the outdoor temperature is 38°C, many shop floors reach 45–48°C.Machines may not have changed, but airflow, heat buildup, and radiant heat certainly have. Let’s understand why this

Let’s assume your operations as 12 hrs per day for 25 days per month . A conventional ceiling fan will consume approx.70W of power whereas a BLDC fan consumes approx . 32W of power . By calculation , a conventional fan consumes = 70X12X25/1000 = 21 units / mth whereas a BLDC fan will consume
