Stationary comparison data and analysis between a new low-cost meteorological device and the MaRTy device

This dataset provides stationary comparison data which was used to demontrate the suitability of a new low-cost and user-friendly meteorological device for the purpose of thermal comfort mapping. The new device was compared to the established high-end MaRTy device developed by Arizona State University's Sensable Heatscapes and Digital Environments (SHaDE) lab. The main sensors for comparison were: the low-cost SHT 85 Sensirion sensor vs. the high-cost HC2S3 Rotronic HygroClip2 for air temperature and humidity. However, the main purpose of the analysis was a comparison of the ability to predict Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) as an essential component of thermal comfort. MRT for the low-cost device was calculated using the RayMan Pro software, while MRT for the MaRTy device is an output calculated directly by the device.
