ladybug_comfort.degreetime module

Utility functions for calculating Heating and Cooling Degree-Time.

ladybug_comfort.degreetime.cooling_degree_time(t, t_base=23)

Calculate cooling degree time at a single time interval.

Parameters

• t – The temperature at a given time interval.

• t_base – The base temperature above which a given time is considered to be in cooling mode. This should be in the same units as the input temperature. Default is 23 Celsius, which is a common balance point for buildings.

ladybug_comfort.degreetime.heating_degree_time(t, t_base=18)

Calculate heating degree time at a single time interval.

Parameters

• t – The temperature at a given time interval.

• t_base – The base temperature below which a given time is considered to be in heating mode. This should be in the same units as the input temperature. Default is 18 Celsius, which is a common balance point for buildings.
