The indices vary in their level of complexity and therefore calculation time. While UTCI is regression based and quick, PMV requires the iterative solution of one energy balance equation and PET requires the solution of two of them and is hence much more calculation time expensive. BIO-met supports parallel calcuation to speed up the simulations. | The indices vary in their level of complexity and therefore calculation time.

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. | ||
