Evaluation of Climatic Comfort of Living Environment based on Age Differentials in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Area

Somatosensory comfort is mainly determined by the Temperature and Humidity Index (THI) with Wind Efficiency Index (WEI), but this conventional usage of these indicators does not capture the age-related differentials. Here we resolved this gap with a modification of the climatic comfort definition an...
