- | It directly interacts with the ENVI-met output and lets you interactively set the persons parameter, the Thermal Comfort Index and the range of calculation. | + | |
+ | BIO-met is a post-processing tool to calculate human Thermal Comfort and Thermal Comfort Indices based on your simulation data. It provides assessment of Dynamic Thermal Comfort (dPET) and a range of classic static indices such as PET, SET or UTCI. | ||

**However, it is important to understand, that a proper Thermal Comfort Index can only be calculated if the microclimate data used are correctly and/or sense-full. First you need valid ENVI-met simulation output, then you can calculate Thermal Comfort.** | **However, it is important to understand, that a proper Thermal Comfort Index can only be calculated if the microclimate data used are correctly and/or sense-full.

This is the big and holy question. The fact, that BIO-met already supports 4 of them gives a clue, that there is no generally accepted answer. | This is the big and holy question. The fact, that BIO-met already supports 4 of them gives a clue, that there is no generally accepted answer. | ||
