Can anyone gives reference guide line for considering hot spot based on a week temperature mapping data at different six locations of room. I am not clear about which point considered as a hot spot (1) its average temperature of week mapping is higher or (2) it’s gives highest single point temperature during whole study.
There isn’t a guidance which states this directly, but the World Health Organization does discuss Mean Kinetic Temperature, which is similar to a weighted average. If you use the MKT, you won’t go wrong.
The calculation isn’t too complicated if you are familiar with Excel.
How to calculate mean kinetic temperature
Formula for MKT calculation is available in USP. Also softwares are available for MKT calculation
