thermofeel (pronounced thermo-feel)
A library to calculate human thermal comfort indexes.
- Currently calculates the thermal indexes:
- Universal Thermal Climate Index
- Mean Radiant Temperature
- Mean Radiant Temperature from Wet Bulb Globe Temperature
- Heat Index Simplified
- Heat Index Adjusted
- Humidex
- Apparent Temperature
- Wind Chill
- Net Effective Temperature
- Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Simple
- Wet Bulb Globe Temperature
- In support of the above indexes, it also calculates:
- Solar Declination Angle
- Solar Zenith Angle
- Relative Humidity Percentage
- Saturation vapour pressure
Install with:
$ pip install thermofeel
- thermofeel core functions depend on:
- numpy
