I don’t think is unreasonable if we’re going to have qualitative tags, to have
7 values. there needs to be a distinction between something that is
uncomfortably hot and dangerously hot. (AKA a hot springs and a steam pipe).
You can’t have “cold mild hot” as the only qualitative/ subjective tags, because the extremes
and values in between are common descriptions of items in a qualatiative sense = “That steam
pipe is dangerously hot” "that desert cave is mild inside” “The mountain hut is warm
inside" "That hot springs is hot but enjoyable” They may be qualitative, but is
verifiable to some degree, and useful if there is no exact temperature known, or it varies in
a predictable range (hot springs water is often “danger-hot”, though the temperature goes up
and down with earthquakes and other geologic activity - but 90C and 95C water is still
dangerous.
also, my stab at method:
temperature:method=mechanical / fire / natural / material or inherent
temperature:range=cooled / heated / controlled / variable / adjustable
If further detail is needed, then
temperature:mechanical= forced_air_heater / swamp_cooler / freon_AC /
freon_freezer / tankless_heater etc
temperature:fire=fire_pit / fireplace / kerosene_heater / wood_stove
mechanical: whatever method (HVAC, refrigerator unit, oil heater, etc) is used
to heat the item or the air inside the item.
fire: directly burning wood or a material to receive heat (AKA a fireplace, gas
fire pit, stove).
natural: the place is in a situation where it is naturally different from the
ambient temperature of the area (AKA caves in the desert are mild, esp.
compared to right outside the entrance - both during the hot day and cold
nights. (I think natural is the smallest category of use)
material: the material being moved or the item itself is inherently that
temperature (unnaturally) at that current state - AKA a steam pipe, an exhaust
pipe, a heat exchanger, a refrigerant line.
if we want to get into semantics that a shower could be a cold shower, a warm
shower, and a hot shower, usually, marking “hot” for the temperature means hot
water is available to mix, so it would be:
amenity=showers
temperature=hot
Additional info:
temperature:range=adjustable
temperature:method=mechanical
temperature:mechanical=tankless_electric_heater
but a beach shower, for washing off the sand is
amenity=showers
temperature=cool
additional info:
temperature:range=variable
temperature:method=material (the water being transported is inherently cool).
anyways, those are my ideas

Nice ideas... But first the tag temperature= has to be accepted. Then
consideration could be given to other things like the methods used to
achieve the temperature. You could have lots of things.
Such as
amenity=shower
temperature=adjustable
temperature:range=ambient_to_hot
temperature:method=mixed_ambient_and_heated - where heated to hot water
is mixed with ambient water to the users setting.
First temperature .. then the sub tags for those interested in them .. even
temperature:method=mixed_ambient_and_heated-electic+solar
But first temperature=
But first temperature= ... the rest can come later as required.
