About Us

HEPRU conducts comprehensive research dedicated to understanding how humans perform in adverse environments. Using the world's only  whole-body direct calorimeter (a device used to precisely measure the heat emitted by the human body), HEPRU has the unique ability to examine the effects of changing environments on human physiological responses.
