For a thorough analysis of why we feel hot or cold, get hold of a copy of Thermal Comfort by P.O.Fanger (McGraw Hill, 1972). Fanger's model is used extensively in the HVAC industry yet anyone with a basic grasp of physics will find this book easy to read. It explains the difference between conducted heat and radiant heat and why a simple thermostat doesn't always make us comfortable. Recommended - if you're serious about your heating!
