Overview

PsychroLib is a software library to enable the calculation of psychrometric properties of moist and dry air. Versions of PsychroLib are available for Python, C, C#, Fortran, R, JavaScript, Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). PsychroLib works in both metric (SI) and imperial (IP) systems of units. For a general overview and a list of currently available functions, please see the overview page.

Documentation

Please see the Python API documentation for the common API across all the supported language implementations. In Python, array support and improved runtime performance can be optionally enabled by installing Numba. In R (1) constants, like ZERO_FAHRENHEIT_AS_RANKINE are not exported (i.e. not directly accessible to users), (2) functions accept a vector, not a scalar (3) bulk calculations, like CalcPsychrometricsFromRelHum return a list.

Examples on how to use PsychroLib in all the supported languages are described in this guide.
