### Enrichment of Thermal Comfort Parameters for Archetypal Zone Usage
#### 2.3.2 Enrichment of Clothing Insulation Parameters for Archetypal Zone Usage
Nevertheless, clothing insulation and air insulation cannot simply be added, as the clothing affects the air layers [64]. The surrounding insulation significantly affects the effective insulation of a person in bedding systems. However, as our study proposes a new set of generalized templates for archetypal zone usage that is used for simple estimation of thermal comfort in the design phase, we decided to add clothing insulation values as additional insulation factors, such as chairs (when seated) or beds (when sleeping). The reduced accuracy of the clothing insulation is covered by the general assumption of an estimation of an average/standard setup (of person, clothing, and activity degrees) per archetypal zone usage. In the proposed template (see Table 3 for an excerpt and cf. Table A2 for the full parameter set), we split the insulation parameter into two parts: clothing insulation and surrounding insulation. By splitting these parameters, we ensure transparency of our assumptions. We consider the sum of these two parameters for our further thermal comfort analysis. Depending on climate zones as well as culture, bedding systems vary with regard to insulation, materials, and general configuration. However, as [PERSON] et al. [65] describe, the filling of the bedding materials has a minor effect on the resulting insulation of the bedding system. Still, it highly depends on the weight per unit area of the bedding system. Thus, even a study on Chinese bedding systems can be considered for Western Europe if the weight of the bedding system is chosen appropriately. [PERSON] et al. [65] measured bedding system insulation between 1.53 and 4.89 clo depending on the per \begin{table}

As we aim for a surrounding insulation factor that we can add to the clothing insulation, we estimate an additional surrounding insulation factor of 2.0 clo. This surrounding insulation factor for bedding already incorporates a reduction of the combined clothing and surrounding insulation value (clothing and surrounding insulation factor follow the principles of superposition, such that for the general template value, we decided to keep the clothing value fixed, while we reduce the surrounding insulation value). We keep in mind that this surrounding insulation factor highly depends on the bedding system weight (that may be changed due to weather conditions), body coverage, and even sleeping posture.
