Hello First of all, congrats for this great package which is very useful. I have a little question concerning the temperature of themal comfort in the adaptative_en function. It is wrote : t_cmf = 0.33 * t_running_mean + 18.8 So if I consider a constant running mean temperature of 20°C, I obtain t_cmf = 25.4 °C. I'm a bit surprised by such a high value... Am I doing something wrong ? Best regards Simon MARTINEZ

Hi Simon, no that is correct, see the chart below from the CBE Thermal Comfort Tool. I would encourage you to use the PMV or SET model instead of the adaptive model.
