The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) addresses these shortcomings by using an advanced thermo-physiological model. The aim of this study was to investigate and prepare zoning of thermal comfort condition using UTCI. Meteorological data including temperature, wind speed, cloudiness and relative humidity were obtained on a daily time scale from 10 synoptic stations during (2004-2013) period...

Introduction: In this study we (i) introduced time-motion analysis for assessing the impact of workplace heat on the work shift time spent doing labor (WTL) of grape-picking workers, (ii) examined whether seasonal environmental differences can influence their WTL, and (iii) investigated whether their WTL can be assessed by monitoring productivity or the vineyard manager's estimate of WTL. Metho...

UTCI, although it was developed with the participation of scientists from 22 countries, has shortcomings and people using face various obstacles. The difficulties include wide range issues: different availability meteorological data in individual through kind air temperature which should be properly used calculations, or need recalculation wind speed. However biggest subject concern algorithms ...

While rapid urbanization promotes social and economic development, it exacerbates human outdoor thermal comfort, which increases the risks to health. This paper uses four comfort indices multiple satellite observations explore effect on summer heat stress in Guangdong from 1979–2018, a coastal province of China. Two types index are used here, namely direct (Heat Index, HI; Temperature–Humidity ...

the present study compared simple thermal indices and the indices derived from energy budget models in the northwest of iran. for this purpose, the air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, cloud, cover and wind speed of 13 meteorological stations in the northwest of iran during the  the period of 1986 to 2007 were selected for comparison. the results which were extracted using biokl...
