  Author(s): Paulo S. Lucio* and Ana Carla Gomes
  
  Over the last century many indices have been developed and used to assess thermal comfort conditions for humans. Such indices are used sporadically for specific purposes; some are based on generalized results of measurements some on the empirically observed reactions of the human body to heat stress. Indices that are based on considerations of human heat balance are referred to as "rational indices". This paper presents a comparative analysis of the Thermal Comfort Index via Principal Components (PCTCI) and some of the most prevalent thermal comfort indices. So it is explored, in this work; some well-known classic methods to calculate thermal comfort, contrasting them with a method proposed here that is based on the Principal Components Analysis for some of the host cities of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup’s in Australia (Asian Confederation) and in New..
