Complex thermal comfort data needs colorful solutions!

Operating a bedroom air conditioner to get the best comfort at the least cost is a lot more complicated and non-intuitive than most of us (including me) have imagined. Netatmo plus the visual SQL display tools from Tableau are the only way to really understand what is going on here in this "simple" display of thermal comfort data in a single night in steamy Bangkok March 2017 which we will examine in more detail later.

We thought that keeping the bedroom door closed to "keep the heat out" and "not waste electricity" was the best policy but the data here suggest otherwise!

Truly, the delight is in the detail!
