Application and comparison of UTCI and PET in temperate climate conditions
Matzarakis,Andreas; Muthers,Stefan; Rutz,FrankThe assessment of the thermal bioclimate is based on the human energy balance and derived indices such as Physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) or Universal thermal Climate index (UTCI). These two indices were compared over a period of ten year based on hourly data in a middle European city with a temperate climate. The analysis performed shows that the differences obtained result from the different ther...
Outdoor thermal perception in different climatic regions. Initial results from ...
Lin,Tzu-Ping; Andrade,Henrique; Oliveira,Sandra; Hwang,Ruey-Lung; Matzarakis,AndreasPeople living in different climatic regions have adapted to specific weather conditions and their tolerance to high temperatures and wind speeds is diverse. This study analyses the effect of thermal adaptations on the thermal perception of users of outdoor spaces in two different regions: Taichung (Taiwan) and Lisbon (Portugal), by means of field surveys and measurements of weather parameters. The thermal accep...
