createCond: Creating a List with Standard Values

In comf: Models and Equations for Human Comfort Research

Creating a List with Standard Values

Description

createCond creates a list with standard variables to be used as an input parameter for calculating comfort indices using the function calcComfInd.

Usage

createCond(a = TRUE)

createcond(a = TRUE)

Arguments

a	logical. If a = TRUE, function returns a list of standard conditions. If a = FALSE, function returns a list of empty variables which may be edited manually. See details for further information.
