“…Other indices of human comfort, such as wind chill index or heat index, report a value-based only upon two factors of temperature and wind speed or humidity; thus, they are not accurate [31]. Protective measurements through clothing and insulating can control and regulate the heat loss from humans or equipment [8]. Table 3 gives an indication of how the AccuWeather's RealFeel® temperature can be implemented based on recommendations [33].…”

“…What is of particular interest is how human performance is affected and how this may have an effect on the safety, quality, and production at the site [6,7]. The sensation of 'cold' increases by the heat loss from the body [8]. The cold exposure and humidity over time can result in several health issues and injuries, including skin problems, cold burns, chill blains, trench foot, fingertip fissures, frostnip fissures, frostnip, frostbite, hypothermia, and cold-induced bronchoconstriction.…”

Windtech device is a novel tool for measuring the sensation of the ‘cold’. Cold poses numerous challenges for industrial operations, human survival, and living convenience. The impact of the cold is not possible to be quantified just based on temperatures; however other factors such as wind speed, humidity, irradiance have to be taken into consideration. Efforts have been made to develop combined indices such as wind chill temperature (WCT), AccuWeather RealFeel®, and others. The presented article discusses these along with the industrial standards that emphasize on the quantification of the ‘cold’. The following article introduces the Windtech device and its operating principle involving ‘heated temperature’, where the ‘heated temperature’ is affected by environmental parameters including ambient temperature, humidity, wind velocity, and irradiance. The discussed Windtech device is calibrated for operation according to the ISO 11079:2007 standard.
