people differ. Maybe you need more clo to be comfortable, but still the clo unit is valuable. Similarly you might need more calories than your wife, which doesn't make an unit of calories problematic.
- pard68 4y agoA calorie is not a subjective unit. A "clo" is by its definition. >one "clo" equals the thermal insulation required to keep a resting person (for instance, a couch potato) indefinitely comfortable at a temperature of 21° Celsius (70° Fahrenheit) This assumes we all produce the same output heat. We do not. Even at rest people output different amounts of heat. Normal skin temps range by almost 8 degrees Fahrenheit. Edit: Forgot to add "comfortable" is in the definition and comfort is always a subjective. I might be comfortable in my underwear at 70 degrees. And someone else (apparently) is comfortable in a three piece suit at 70.
