thank you

You're welcome

Thank you for the tutorial! I wanted to ask: why are the limits for both wind speed and radiant temperature different from the UTCI calculator available in utci.org? I would like to introduce low values of wind speed and/or high values of radiant temperature - to account for solar radiation - and keep getting the "applicability limits" error.

Could you please share more info (for example which input you used) with me and perhaps open a new issue on GitHub: github.com/CenterForTheBuiltEnvironment/pythermalcomfort/issues
The link to the UTCI website utci.org is broken and I cannot access it. However, in the pythermalcomfort the only limits that are currently set for the UTCI model are the following.
if params["standard"] == "utci":
for key, value in params.items():
if key == "v":
if value > 17:
warnings.warn(
"UTCI wind speed applicability limits between 0.5 and 17 m/s",
UserWarning,
)
elif value < 0.5:
warnings.warn(
"UTCI wind speed applicability limits between 0.5 and 17 m/s",
UserWarning,
)
In other words, if you enter a value of air speed lower than 0.5 m/s or higher than 17 m/s you get a warming. This, however, should be just a warning and not an error. I got these values from the UTCI code.
