  2. ASHRAE 55 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASHRAE_55

    Users provide operative temperature (or air temperature and mean radiant temperature), air speed, humidity, metabolic rate, and clothing insulation value, and the tool evaluates predicted thermal sensation on a scale from -3 (cold) to +3 (hot). Compliance is achieved if the conditions provide thermal neutrality, measured as falling between -0.5 ...

  3. Thermal comfort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort

    The air temperature is the average temperature of the air surrounding the occupant, with respect to location and time. According to ASHRAE 55 standard, the spatial average takes into account the ankle, waist and head levels, which vary for seated or standing occupants.

  4. Room temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature

    Room temperature, colloquially, denotes the range of air temperatures most people find comfortable indoors while dressed in typical clothing. Comfortable temperatures can be extended beyond this range depending on humidity , air circulation , and other factors.

  5. Heat index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index

    The heat index (HI) is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity, in shaded areas, to posit a human-perceived equivalent temperature, as how hot it would feel if the humidity were some other value in the shade. For example, when the temperature is 32 °C (90 °F) with 70% relative humidity, the heat index is 41 °C (106 °F ...

  6. Cold and heat adaptations in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_and_heat_adaptations...

    The human body always works to remain in homeostasis. One form of homeostasis is thermoregulation. Body temperature varies in every individual, but the average internal temperature is 37.0 °C (98.6 °F). [1] Sufficient stress from extreme external temperature may cause injury or death if it exceeds the ability of the body to thermoregulate.

  7. Total air temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_air_temperature

    The air is compressed and experiences an adiabatic increase in temperature. Therefore, total air temperature is higher than the static (or ambient) air temperature. Total air temperature is an essential input to an air data computer in order to enable the computation of static air temperature and hence true airspeed.

  8. API key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_key

    An application programming interface (API) key is a secret unique identifier used to authenticate and authorize a user, developer, or calling program to an API. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Cloud computing providers such as Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services recommend that API keys only be used to authenticate projects, rather than human users.
