Is ambient is for the ambient air/weather, ambient ground temp, or ambient material temperature? the ambient temperature of the air at the beach is 30-40C.the water’s ambient temp from the shower nozzle is much lower, thanks to it being underground (15-20C?). Underground temperatures change depending on where you are .. permafrost areas are below 0, deserts may be above 26 C. I think having some human scale values is important - and weather that is a mechanically / chemically / or naturally occurring temperature should be left up to the subtag values. Yep. After all it is how we humans asses things. As a 'general guide' most 'westerners' sense 21 C as a desirable temperature.. Those living in the tropics would like a warmer temperature, I'm thinking of Darwin, Australia where the daily maximum is around 32 C .. any season. The residents do get use to that temperature, they put jumpers on at 25 C. Javbw I'll put in the 'dangerous' ones ... another subjective level either side of ambient but reasonably easy to explain .. but mild defies me for the moment. Should I remove tepid .. I don't think many would know it or use it considering the definition I've given for the 'cold water' tap. I've put up the dangerously_hot/cold values .. used the word dangerously as that is more a description. Not certain about 'mild' .. need more time to think about it? II have separated out the 'associated tags' into the complimentary and additional types of tags ... I think that is better than lumping them together as it may confuse where this tag can be added, and then what tags can be added to this tag.

Heat pumps are significantly more expensive up-front than air conditioners, due to their greater mechanical complexity, and are only cost-effective as a heating method as long as the temperature to which the outdoor air is chilled is above freezing. As the temperature of the outdoor condenser approaches freezing, the heat pump changes over to using a resistive heating element to heat the indoor air, requiring more electrical power. This means that, in some climates, it is more cost-effective to use a heat source such as an oil-burning or gas-burning furnace as the winter heat source. -- John F.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - temperature
Hi all, I wonder: shouldn't we separate a conditioned room air in a hotel and an object temperature? I get the feeling that this discussion on a useful tag (how to denote the temperature of an object where it is needed) is slowly drifting away to defining about everything related to temperature. I would concentrate on a set of specific examples (where are mappers/data users likely to want to tag/know the temperature?) and just define the set of the tag values for them. The cases that are not explicitly temperature-related shouldn't be covered by this tag in my opinion. An air-conditioned hotel room is a good counter-example for this tag. It's the comfort level rather than the temperature that is the goal. A temperature of the room is the secondary parameter here. Everyone would understand what an air-conditioned hotel is, but I would struggle to know whether +25 °C in July is comfortable for South Korea or not if I see it in the map. On the other hand, there may be a good exception. The American consulate in Moscow is notoriously known for overusing air conditioning and causing severe colds. People are advised to take pullovers and scarves with them in summer. I've experienced the same in McDonald's in Hungary. +20 °C may be a comfortable temperature but not when it's +35 °C outside and the conditioner is blowing like hell onto your head to keep the temperature down. For such cases, one could tag the place as AC-ed and cold. Summary: I suggest to use this tag (and discuss the recommended values for it) only for the temperature specific cases, not for the whole set of objects having some temperature.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - temperature
tepid and mild are synonyms, so tepid should cover mild in that way. usually tepid is for liquids, and mild is for air / weather, when it comes to temperature, AFAIK. Is ambient is for the ambient air/weather, ambient ground temp, or ambient material temperature? the ambient temperature of the air at the beach is 30-40C.the water’s ambient temp from the shower nozzle is much lower, thanks to it being underground (15-20C?). Ambient requires knowledge of the surrounding area - but we are trying to use qualitative words based on human range. If I stick your hand in a pot of water, and it is tepid - is that the ambient temperature of where I got the water? how is that expressed? the fact that it is tepid/mild says nothing about the ambient temperature of where it came from. again - this is subjective or qualitative. a “tepid” 25C cave is quite nice in a 50C desert. Trying to match qualitative words to C values would be difficult - and impossible if it is for different mediums (air water, metal, etc). or is that the exercise? to match qualitative words to known C value ranges for the purpose of the Wiki? I think having some human scale values is important - and weather that is a mechanically / chemically / or naturally occurring temperature should be left up to the subtag values. Javbw I'll put in the 'dangerous' ones ... another subjective level either side of ambient but reasonably easy to explain .. but mild defies me for the moment. Should I remove tepid ..

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - temperature
If we're going to have a temperature key - there should be some qualitative values in human understandable ranges. Yes, they are subjective. Cool/ cold / frozen / danger-cold Warm / hot / boiling / danger-hot Mild (human range comfortable, both hot and cold) This allows tagging for objects / pipes / buildings with unexpected temperatures. there are refrigerators (cold) sub-zero freezers (danger-cold) and exposed steam pipes (Danger-hot) which have very different temperatures from their ambient environment - and knowing the exact temp of the freezer, or the range it operates in is not so useful, but knowing that it is someplace where if you stayed there, it could kill you is very useful. There could also be a sublet value to define class of method, if the object itself isn't the source of the temperature (aka a steam pipe is inherently hot, but a room is made hot by a device or method) temperature=mild temperature:hvac=controlled (heatedcooled) temperature=warm temperature:hvac=heated temperature=warm temperature:fire=heated temperature=danger-cold temperature:hvac=cooled temperature=-20 (c) temperature:hvac=cooled (freezer warehouse where the value is constant and known) Filing all the different man made heating options (radiator, electric heater, oil boiler) it all gets filed under HVAC (heating ventilation air conditioning), as method might be very hard to determine how something is kept warm, but it could be filed in the hvac subkey. Temperature:hvac=kerosene_heater Temperature:fire=wood_fireplace Just my ideas, not sure how well they fit - but having some kinds of qualitative values is important, as the range is more useful than the exact number most of the time.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - temperature
1) +1 to drop Kelvins. 2) heated/cooled is a nice idea, but I wouldn't like seeing too many top level tags. temperature=heated temperature=cooled would be my preferred way to go. I don't like :hvac too much either, because then what do I do if I have AC + fireplace + central heating and use all of them for heating? I would rather, if needed, use temperature=heated temperature:heated=fireplace|HVAC 3) +1 for having mild added. It is not the same as ambient and is useful.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - temperature
If we look how other units are treated in OSM (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features/Units) than the keys have always default units. Which one is the default unit differs from key to key. For example, the default unit for width=* is “meter”, while the default unit for distance=* is “km”. So the default unit is not based on SI units, but on the commonly used unit for this pourpose. I suppose that in most countries of the world, °C is the common unit for temperature in daily normal live. °F is only used in very few countries. °K is only used in the scientific world, but not in daily normal live. So I think it’s important to have a clearly defined default unit, and this default unit should be °C. Nevertheless, I think it is a good idea to encourage people to tag “with” the unit.

Generally these values are too ambiguous and an estimated value is much better. 3) For the numeric specification, I suggest adding: - above/below options - approximate value - range of temperatures (using above/below) E.g. temperature:circa = 80 C temperature:above[:circa] = 300 C temperature:below[:circa] = 1000 C I would add this in the value like: temperature = 10 C temperature = 300 C We still can use source:temperature=estimated 4) How do we tag a shower with cold and hot water ? temperature=4 C;80 C ? Does this depend on the hose, e.g. one separate for each temperature or a mix-batterie ? cu fly ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
