Depending on the Thermal Comfort Index to be simulated, a number of personal parameters of the simulated person can be selected. The most options are available with dPET and PET, which allow not only to set the clothing and level of activity, but also the sex, height, weight and age of the simulated person. For UTCI, SET and PMV these parmeters are ignored and only a standard person (35 years, male, 1.8 m tall) is possible to simulate.

If you want to create individual reference perosns, go to the Settings Person/ Community tab to see and edit the body and activity parameters.

Finally, you have to decidewhich Thermal Comfort Index should be calculated by BIO-met. The options for static indices are PET* (recommended), UTCI, SET and PMV/PPD (not recommended). For simulating Dynamic Thermal Comfort, an individual guide will be available soon.
