Artificial climate - jinkoukikou (English spelling)

Japanese: 人工気候 - じんこうきこう（英語表記）artificial climate

In a broad sense, it refers to a climate that has been altered by human activity, but in a narrow sense, it refers to a climate that has been intentionally altered for a specific purpose. Attempts to change the climate within a relatively small space in order to make human living environments more livable have been made since ancient times. Examples include protection from the cold with clothing (clothing climate), harmonizing the indoor climate with heating and cooling (indoor climate), and greenhouses. Clothing climate is the climate that forms in the very small space between clothing and the skin of the human body, and a temperature of about 32°C and a humidity of about 50% are considered to be the appropriate climate.

Japanese:

広義には人間活動に伴って変えられた気候を指すが，狭義には特定の目的のために意図して変えられた気候をいう。人間の居住環境を，住みやすいように変える目的で，比較的狭い空間内の気候を改変しようとする試みは古くからされてきた。衣服による防寒(衣服気候)，冷暖房による室内の気候調和(室内気候)，温室などはその例である。　衣服気候は衣服と人体の皮膚の間のごく狭い空間に形成される気候で，気温約32℃，湿度約50％が適切な気候とされている。
