I'm writing a video game in which the character's body temperature is a mechanic.
At what point do people feel cold/hot?
My understanding is that it has more to do with changes in temperature than absolute temperature- a person who moves into a room that's 5 degrees (Celsius) colder than the one he was just in will feel very chilly, but if you slowly lower the temperature of a room by 8 degrees its occupant might not even notice.
Of course, exact numbers are impossible with living things, since there's so many variables, but I just need ballpark averages. Anyone have any useful data?
