Description: # PMV Comfort Map
        
        PMV thermal comfort map recipe for Pollination.
        
        Compute spatially-resolved operative temperature and PMV thermal comfort from
        a Honeybee model and EPW. This recipe can also (optionally) compute Standard
        Effective Temperature (SET). Raw results are written into a `results/` folder and
        include CSV matrices of hourly temperatures, thermal conditions and PMV. Processed
        metrics of Thermal Comfort Percent (TCP) can be found in the `metrics/` folder.
        Input conditions to the comfort model are written to an `initial_results/conditions`
        folder.
        
        ## Methods
        
        This recipe uses EnergyPlus to obtain surface temperatures and indoor air
        temperatures + humidities. Outdoor air temperatures, relative humidities, and
        air speeds are taken directly from the EPW. All outdoor points are assumed to be
        at one half of the EPW meteorological wind speed (effectively representing wind
        speed at ground/human height).
        
        Longwave radiant temperatures are achieved by computing spherical view factors
        from each sensor to the surfaces of the model using Radiance. These view factors
        are then multiplied by the surface temperatures output by EnergyPlus to yield
        longwave MRT at each sensor. All indoor shades (eg. those representing furniture)
        are assumed to be at the room-average MRT. For outdoor sensors, the EnergyPlus
        outdoor surface temperatures are used and each sensor's sky view is multiplied by
        the EPW sky temperature to account for longwave radiant exchange with the sky.
        All outdoor context shades and the ground are assumed to be at the EPW air
        temperature unless they have been modeled as Honeybee rooms.
        
        A Radiance-based enhanced 2-phase method is used for all shortwave MRT calculations,
        which precisely represents direct sun by tracing a ray from each sensor to the
        solar position. The energy properties of the model geometry are what determine
        the reflectance and transmittance of the Radiance materials in this shortwave
        calculation.
        
        To determine Thermal Comfort Percent (TCP), the occupancy schedules of the energy
        model are used. Any hour of the occupancy schedule that is 0.1 or greater will be
        considered occupied. All hours of the outdoors are considered occupied.
