The GIDAS-TEA program calculates the microclimatic indices (hot and cold stress and thermal comfort) most used and recognized by international standards. The program is divided into 3 modules:
Module for moderate environments (thermal comfort) Calculation of thermal comfort indices to evaluate the distance between the current situation and the theoretically optimal one:
- PMV Expected average rating (ISO7730)
- PPD% dissatisfied (ISO7730)
- DR% dissatisfied with air currents (ISO7730)
- TO Operating temperature
Module for cold environments (thermal-cold stress) Calculation of cold thermal stress indices, useful where there is a significant intervention of the body’s thermoregulation system in order to limit the potential excessive decrease in body temperature:
- IREQ Thermal insulation required (ISO11079)
- IclReq Thermal insulation required by clothing (ISO11079)
- Dlim Maximum duration of exposure and Drec recovery time (ISO11079)
TWC WindChill temperature
Module for hot environments (thermal-hot stress) Calculation of hot thermal stress indices, useful where there may be a risk of heat stroke and dehydration due to high temperatures:
- WBGT Internal / External (ISO7243: 2018)
- PHS Predictable thermal stress (ISO7933: 2004)
In case you need to calculate the three types of indices, you can opt for the complete software (BSZ318).
