Assessing heat-related health risk in Europe via the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2018 In this work the potential of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) as a heat-related health risk indicator in Europe is demonstrated. The UTCI is a bioclimate index that uses a multi-node human heat balance model to represent the heat stress ...

Indoor heat stress: An assessment of human bioclimate using the UTCI in different buildings in Berlin [PDF]
DIE ERDE: Journal of the Geographical Society of Berlin, 2014 Because humans spend most of their time indoors and can be negatively affected by unfavourable thermal environments, the assessment of indoor heat stress is an important issue for public health care. To characterise indoor human bioclimate, the Universal
