LB PMV vs HB PMV comfort map

Really sorry for the late response here, @Julioamodia89 and thanks, @tiantmz , for answering some of the questions.

In general, I can say that the PMV comfort map recipe accounts for many more things that you’ll be able to account for with just the Ladybug components. Even when you’re computing view factors to the surfaces like your screenshot there, @Julioamodia89 , and multiplying them by the hourly surface temperatures from EnergyPlus. This is because the PMV comfort maps can model reflections of shortwave radiation using Radiance, which is something that would be very difficult to do using just the Ladybug Tools components. The shortwave solar calculation in the comfort maps also does a pretty robust job of accounting for the window solar transmittance by computing it from the energy construction. So, when in doubt, the PMV comfort map is likely to be a better representation of indoor conditions compared to anything that you’ll put together with just Ladybug.

Hope that helps.
