Curiosities about Thermal Indices Estimation and Application

Overview
To date, it is well known that the effect of heat or cold on human beings cannot be described and quantified based only on one single meteorological or thermo-physiological parameter [1]. Since the effects of thermal environments on humans have been quantified, more than 160 thermal indices have been designed according to human thermal physiology and sensation [1]. [...]the following five indices can be described as appropriate: [...]the concept of the equivalent temperature is an approach, which is not only helpful, but a “gentle” solution that can moreover be shared more easily with non-experts as well. Because of the complexity of the energy balance equation and the extracted thermal indices, they have to be calculated with specific numeric models or programs [17]. PET requires activity, and PT metabolism and UTCI have default defined values. [...]caution in the calculation is important concerning this issue.
