-The calculation of UTCI is based on a 6th order polynomial regression function estimating UTCI from wind speed, air temperature, mean radiant temperature and air vapour pressure (see [[http://www.utci.org/utci_doku.php|COST 730 Webpage]]). Due to that approach, there is almost nothing that can be changed in the personal settings such as clothing, activity etc.+The UTCI was first integrated in EnvimetV4 in 2013. The calculation of UTCI is based on a 6th order polynomial regression function estimating UTCI from wind speed, air temperature, mean radiant temperature and air vapour pressure (see [[http://www.utci.org/utci_doku.php|COST 730 Webpage]]). Due to that approach, there is almost nothing that can be changed in the personal settings such as clothing, activity etc.

-**Please Note**:  Due to these restrictions, areas outside the official bounds of UTCI will not be calculated by BioMet. These areas are marked with "No Data". Especially in urban areas, the lower limit of 0.5 m/s can create a number of white "No Data" areas in the maps. In future versions of BioMet, will add an option to ignore these UTCI bounds. BUT: Remember that UTCI is not a part of ENVI-met. Using this option,  your maps might look better and  more complete. But scientifically, you are leaving the "official" and pre-calcuated UTCI range.+**Please Note**:  Due to these restrictions, areas outside the official bounds of UTCI will not be calculated by BioMet.

 +From Version 5.0.1 (Dec 2021) on, the 0.5 m/s limit is ignored when calculating UTCI.
