This book provides a comprehensive exploration of methods and insights for understanding and improving thermal comfort in outdoor environments. Outdoor thermal comfort has become an increasingly critical area of research, especially in the context of climate change and urbanization. It presents cutting-edge techniques for measuring environmental parameters, such as radiant temperature and ground temperature, while introducing innovative modifications to established thermal indices like the Physiological Equivalent Temperature Index (PET) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). The book also delves into human factors such as metabolic rates and behavioral adaptations, offering a nuanced perspective on the interaction between individuals and their thermal environment.
