Popis: This study analyzes the differences in the local thermal responses of three thermal preference groups, namely, the cool preference group (Gcp), the neutral preference group (Gnp), and the warm preference group (Gwp). Eighteen male college students with different thermal preferences (6 in each thermal preference group) were subjected to climate chamber tests in three different thermal environments, at operative temperatures of 21 °C, 19 °C, and 17 °C. The local skin temperature, conductive heat flux, and thermal sensation vote (TSV) of seven body parts were recorded during the tests. Subsequently, the non-uniformity coefficients of skin temperature and conductive heat flux were calculated. The results indicate that there are statistically significant differences (p
