Relative thermal index

The Relative Thermal Index (RTI) is a measure used to assess the thermal comfort of a given environment, especially in relation to outdoor and indoor conditions. It helps in evaluating how temperature, humidity, and other factors influence human comfort under different thermal conditions. The RTI is typically used in various fields, including architectural design, urban planning, and environmental studies, to understand how building designs and landscaping can affect microclimates and overall comfort levels.
