Thermal Comfort Indices in Biomet
Still a lot of work to do….
In Version 1.0, the list of supported Thermal Comfort Indices is not too long. We are sure that we will extend the abilities of the program in the next future…
Please note, that the different Thermal Comfort Indices are all based on totally different calculation approaches. Hence, some of them react on finde adjustments e.g. in the personal parameter, while others don't. In the description of the parameters below, the sensitivity to input parameters and the limitations of applications are given.
PMV/PPD
PET
UTCI
Limits:
- Wind Speed: UTCI as used in the software is limited to a wind speed range of 0.5 to 17 m/s related to 10 m Height
- Height reference: UTCI always related to wind speed at 10 m height while the biometeorological parameters are normally define bewteen 1.5 and 2 m…
