13 Comfort
Main Components
Compute a thermal comfort metric at a point: UTCI (Ta, RH, wind, MRT), PET (adds the personal inputs), or NOAA Heat Index (Ta, RH only). Pick the metric from the dropdown — the inputs adapt. Wire hourly lists (e.g. EPW series) to compute annual values.
Compute annual probe-specific UTCI from simulation outputs: MRT and wind-speed data trees, plus air temperature and relative humidity. For a weather-only calculator, use "UTCI (Weather)".
Bin an hourly point-specific series (e.g. UTCI) into a comfort range or the UTCI thermal-stress categories, per analysis period, and report hours/percent in each band. Feed it a point-specific DataTree (e.g. the UTCI component's output) and, optionally, one Analysis Period per branch (see the Analysis Period / Analysis Period To Hours components); an unwired period covers the whole series as one implicit Annual period.
Color UTCI, PET or NOAA Heat Index values by their thermal-stress categories and create a matching legend.
