Developing an adapted UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index) for the elderly population in China’s severe cold climate region

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2021
Abstract This paper proposes an adapted UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index) that can reasonably evaluate the outdoor thermal conditions in China. The proposed adapted UTCI gives a better understanding of the severe cold region’s outdoor thermal comfort.

Application of Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) for microclimatic analysis in urban thermal environments

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2014
Abstract Microclimatic effects were investigated for human thermal sensation on human bioclimatic maps in summer, 2009 using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). Study locations were downtown Nanaimo, BC, Canada and Changwon, Republic of Korea. Air temperatures and humidities of several sites were collected at the two locations.

Predicting urban outdoor thermal comfort by the Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI—a case study in Southern Brazil

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2011
Recognising that modifications to the physical attributes of urban space are able to promote improved thermal outdoor conditions and thus positively influence the use of open spaces, a survey to define optimal thermal comfort ranges for passers-by in pedestrian streets was conducted in Curitiba, Brazil.

Assessment of universal thermal climate index (UTCI) using the WRF-UCM model over a metropolitan city in India

International Journal of Biometeorology
Rapid urbanization increases urban air temperature, considerably affecting health, comfort, and the quality of life in urban spaces. The accurate assessment of outdoor thermal comfort is crucial for urban health. In the present study, a high-resolution mesoscale model coupled with a layer Urban Canopy Model (WRF-UCM) is implemented over the city of ...
