Table 2.

Indices excluded from further analysis due to criterion (C). Full index names and references are shown in Table 1

C Index Reason
9 PhS Evaluates reaction of body immediately after exposure to an environment (Blazejczyk 2005a; Blazejczyk 2005b). Thus, PhS evaluates time scales shorter than 10 min, which cannot be resolved with ORMs
9 STI Same as PhS
10 OTEI No assessment scale defined
10 ThBalb No assessment scale defined. An assessment scale is defined for a regression version, but that does not include long-wave radiation (C5, Appendix A in ESM 1)
11 HEBIDEX Assessment scale is derived from thermal sensation votes of beach tourists (de Freitas 1985)
11 STEBIDEX Same as HEBIDEX
11 OUT_SET* Contradicting assessment scales derived from thermal sensation votes for different locations by different authors (Tsitoura et al. (2014), Watanabe et al. (2014), and Spagnolo and de Dear (2003))
