The Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI assesses the outdoor thermal environment based on the multi-node UTCI-Fiala-model of thermoregulation, which was coupled with a clothing model considering the clothing behaviour of an urban population. The applicability of UTCI to exercising, resting or occupational settings is currently limited by the assumed moderate activity level (2.3 MET) and the ma...
متن کاملUTCI--why another thermal index?
Existing procedures for the assessment of the thermal environment in the fields of public weather services, public health systems, precautionary planning, urban design, tourism and recreation and climate impact research exhibit significant shortcomings. This is most evident for simple (mostly two-parameter) indices, when comparing them to complete heat budget models developed since the 1960s. I...
متن کاملThe Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI compared to ergonomics standards for assessing the thermal environment.
The growing need for valid assessment procedures of the outdoor thermal environment in the fields of public weather services, public health systems, urban planning, tourism & recreation and climate impact research raised the idea to develop the Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI based on the most recent scientific progress both in thermo-physiology and in heat exchange theory. Following exten...
متن کاملComparison of UTCI to selected thermal indices
Over the past century more than 100 indices have been developed and used to assess bioclimatic conditions for human beings. The majority of these indices are used sporadically or for specific purposes. Some are based on generalized results of measurements (wind chill, cooling power, wet bulb temperature) and some on the empirically observed reactions of the human body to thermal stress (physiol...
متن کاملThe Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI in Operational Use
The Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI provides an assessment of the outdoor thermal environment in bio-meteorological applications based on the equivalence of the dynamic physiological response predicted by a model of human thermoregulation, which was coupled with a state-of-the-art clothing model. The operational procedure, which is available as software from the UTCI website (www.utci.org)...
