naposm commented 3 years ago

General

Affected tag(s) to be modified/added: Question asked: Does X have air conditioning?

Checklist

Checklist for quest suggestions (see guidelines):

[x] 🚧 To be added tag is established and has a useful purpose
[X] 🤔 Any answer the user can give must have an equivalent tagging (Quest should not reappear to other users when solved by one)
[X] 🐿️ Easily answerable by everyone from the outside but a survey is necessary (by looking at the "box" outside of the building)
[X] 💤 Not an overwhelming percentage of quests have the same answer (No spam)
[X] 🕓 Applies to a reasonable number of map data (Worth the effort)

Ideas for implementation

Element selection: Overpass query for restaurants, bars, libraries and apartments, where the answer could be more balanced between yes and no, almost every hotel has air conditioning and the same goes for malls, supermarkets etc.:

/*
This has been generated by the overpass-turbo wizard.
The original search was:
“(type:way or type:node) and (amenity=restaurant or amenity=bar or amenity=library or tourism=apartment) and air_conditioning!=*”
*/
[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
(
  // query part for: “amenity=restaurant and air_conditioning!=*”
  way["amenity"="restaurant"]["air_conditioning"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  // query part for: “amenity=bar and air_conditioning!=*”
  way["amenity"="bar"]["air_conditioning"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  // query part for: “amenity=library and air_conditioning!=*”
  way["amenity"="library"]["air_conditioning"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  // query part for: “tourism=apartment and air_conditioning!=*”
  way["tourism"="apartment"]["air_conditioning"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  // query part for: “amenity=restaurant and air_conditioning!=*”
  node["amenity"="restaurant"]["air_conditioning"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  // query part for: “amenity=bar and air_conditioning!=*”
  node["amenity"="bar"]["air_conditioning"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  // query part for: “amenity=library and air_conditioning!=*”
  node["amenity"="library"]["air_conditioning"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  // query part for: “tourism=apartment and air_conditioning!=*”
  node["tourism"="apartment"]["air_conditioning"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
);
// print results
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Metadata needed: None, but maybe there are some laws for this

Proposed UI: Simple Yes/No quest like the lit way one.

Wiki page for the tag: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:air_conditioning Currently used on 14 594 nodes and 7 693 areas (mainly amenities, so I think restaurants and bars), Maybe it should be disabled by default settings if implemented.

Some other businesses where this could be useful, based on the amount of time spent there by customers and the fact that they are usually local businesses:

Convenience stores
Bakeries
Variety stores
Charity stores
Second hand stores
Hairdressers (even if almost all of them have it, might still be useful in some cases)
Lottery shops (lottery tickets shops)
Stationery shops
Bookstores
Gift shops

What do you think? Could this be useful in your opinion?

P.S. Sorry for bringing the issue count to 100 :cry:

I suspect the likelihood of this varies a lot by country too, e.g. in more temperate places it's probably rarer.

I don't think this is "easily answerable by everyone from the outside". Air conditioning units are often on the backside of the building (that might not be accessible to the public) and at least where I live, they're also often indoors (sometimes visible, sometimes in service areas) with only a vent going outside.

Often the only indication that they have air conditioning is the indoor temperature when you enter the building on a hot day. Or sometimes their advertisement (that may or may not be false)

There are a number of other quests which don't necessarily hit this criteria (e.g. dietary ones), which as @naposm mentioned means it would probably be disabled by default:

A quest like that would be

by default disabled because users need to go inside
only enabled in countries where it is reasonable to assume that some businesses have AC, some don't

Otherwise, I don't see a problem to add this. The tag is used a few thousand times and its definition doesn't seem to have any issues. Also, the info is quite helpful.

I was thinking about icon - what about snowflake?

If disabled by default - then I think that limiting by country/time is not needed. User can enable it during summer for example.

smichel17 commented 2 years ago

Icon-- include some squiggly lines to represent blowing air

I wonder why the fixes tagging didn't do that automatically, unless it only applies to the main branch, which seems a bit odd.

Exactly this
