The accuracy of predictive models (also known as mechanistic or causal models) of animal
responses to climate change depends on properly incorporating the principles of heat …

Thermal environment influences human thermal comfort significantly when people have
outdoor activities. Four environmental parameters determine outdoor thermal comfort, which …

Abstract The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) aimed for a one-dimensional quantity
adequately reflecting the human physiological reaction to the multi-dimensionally defined …

This paper describes the application of a methodology designed to analyse the relationship
between climatic conditions and the perception of bioclimatic comfort. The experiment …

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between simulated solar radiation
and thermal comfort. Three studies investigated the effects of (1) the intensity of direct …

This second part of the study uses a validated dynamic building thermal model for perimeter
zones with glass facades (described in Part I) and combines it with a transient two-node …

Abstract Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) developed by Fanger is widely used for assessing
indoor thermal environments. However, the PMV has deviation in assessing the thermal …

In human biometeorology, the estimation of mean radiant temperature (MRT) is generally
considered challenging. This work presents a general framework to compute the MRT at the …

Extreme heat is a current and growing global health concern. Current heat exposure models
include meteorological and human factors that dictate heat stress, comfort, and risk of …
