Description: # Adaptive Comfort Map
        
        Adaptive thermal comfort map recipe for Pollination.
        
        Compute spatially-resolved operative temperature and adaptive thermal comfort from
        a Honeybee model and EPW. Raw results are written into a `results/` folder and
        include CSV matrices of hourly operative temperatures and thermal conditions. Processed
        metrics of Thermal Comfort Percent (TCP) can be found in the `metrics/` folder.
        
        ## Methods
        
        This recipe uses EnergyPlus to obtain longwave radiant temperatures and indoor air
        temperatures. The outdoor air temperature and air speed 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. For outdoor sensors, all hours are considered occupied.
