Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for item temperature maintenance is provided. The embodiment may include capturing weather information related to current and predicted weather conditions. The embodiment may also include identifying a period of time when the captured weather information indicates an outdoor temperature satisfies a temperature threshold. The embodiment may further include calculating a thermal advantage of utilizing outdoor air to supplement a normal process of a thermodynamic device. The embodiment may also include, in response to the thermal advantage satisfying a threshold, performing supplementation of the normal process of the thermodynamic device.
