Just want to confirm, should the output title of neutral_temp be “Neutral Temperature” instead of “Operative Temperature”? Since Operative Temperature is (Air temperature + MRT)/2 according to py script below.
Please correct me if I’m wrong…
def t_operative(ta, tr):
"""Get operative temperature from air and radiant temperature.
Args:
ta: Air temperature [C]
tr: Mean radiant temperature [C]
Return:
Operative temperature [C]
"""
return (ta + tr) / 2
Anyone has thoughts?
Or maybe there can be an extra output for Operative Temperature?
This was just me being a little lazy.
The Neutral Temperature is just the Operative Temperature that occupants want to have inside their building. So calling the Neutral Temperature an “Operative Temperature” isn’t wrong. But I can see that it can get confusing given that there’s no output from the component for the operative temperature derived from the input _air_temp and _mrt_.
If this was confusing, I can add a new “Neutral Temperature” data type at some point.
