FAQ

Is the Zelus System OSHA compliant?
Yes! And the US military.

OSHA Technical Manual Section III: Chapter 4, Step 1: Option B

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE INSTRUCTION 48-151 2.10.8.2
Do you offer discounts to schools or organizations
Yes! Please email us at info@zelusports.com and we will provide you with group pricing.
How does the app determine WBGT
The app takes hyperlocal (less than 2.5km resolution) weather data that includes air temperature, relative humidity, solar irradiance, angle of the sun, cloud cover, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, and dew point then uses this data in complex mathematical algorithms that have been developed by the NOAA/NWS and Ph.D.s in meteorology.
Where do you get your weather data?
Data is sourced from the world’s most advanced weather datasets including: weather station data, NASA MODIS Satellite data, precipitation radar, weather models, RTMA, multi-sensor satellite based precipitation (NASA GPM/TRMM), the MERRA2 and ERA5 re-analyses, the GLDAS re-analysis (Agro API), and the Viasala lightning network.
Do you have an API?
No. Our software is unique and patent pending. You can only get these services through our app.
Is the WBGT accurate
Yes. In a data set of over 20,000 unique readings from May to November, WBGT calculated from weather parameters were routinely within 1 degree Celsius of WBGT using a gold standard WBGT device. https://econet.climate.ncsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/WBGT.pdf
Does it work on artificial turf?
Yes. Contrary to popular belief, the playing surface does not change the WBGT to any appreciable degree.

Apple Review

Brilliant! Thank you for making an easy to use app for getting current, real-time WBGT!

I love the product. I think it is really easy to use, we can document when temperatures are taken and the precautions we have taken so from a liability perspective it’s fantastic. It’s also great because we can ensure we are keeping our students safe and don’t have to rely on a trainer being on site all the time. It’s increased awareness and autonomy throughout our coaching staff to make wise and safe decisions regarding student participants. I love it because I can check from home and be sure that coaches are operating with the same information I am. I’ve really enjoyed having it.
