Popis:	The purpose of this study is to propose a new thermal index applicable to outdoor and non-uniform environment. The value indicating universal effect in this index consists of the summation of air temperature and the effective temperature differences by air velocity, longwave radiation, solar radiation, heat conduction, and humidity. Each of the separate effects of environmental variables on universal feelings can be divided into any human body segments as for the non-uniform thermal environment. These effects on segments are all indicated in the unit of °C. Based on the human heat balance, this paper describes mathematically the theory of how universal and separate effects in the outdoor and non-uniform thermal environment are simultaneously indicated in the same unit.
