pip install ladybug-comfort
"""Get the percentage of time outdoor conditions are comfortable with/without sun + wind"""
from ladybug.epw import EPW
from ladybug_comfort.collection.utci import UTCI
epw_file_path = './tests/epw/chicago.epw'
epw = EPW(epw_file_path)
utci_obj_exposed = UTCI.from_epw(epw, include_wind=True, include_sun=True)
utci_obj_protected = UTCI.from_epw(epw, include_wind=False, include_sun=False)
print(utci_obj_exposed.percent_neutral) # comfortable percent of time with sun + wind
print(utci_obj_protected.percent_neutral) # comfortable percent of time without sun + wind
