Run process
- Create Rhino model as surfaces. Generate individual zones from surfaces (including air-walls and glazing objects) using Honeybee and save to IDF somewhere.
- Using ReconfigureIDF, a weatherfile and config JSON, generate a ready-to-simulate IDF file. The command to run this is
python ReconfigureIDF.py -i <input IDF file> -w <weather file> -t <internal gains template> -c <config file> -o <output IDF file>. The usage of this command can be found by runningpython ReconfigureIDF.py -h. - Generate a set of files ready for simulation in Radiance from the IDF using IDFToHoneybeeRadiance. The command to run this is
python IDFToHoneybeeRadiance.py -i <input IDF file> -w <weather file> -c <config file> -o <output directory> -gs <analysis grid size>. The usage of this command can be found by runningpython IDFToHoneybeeRadiance.py -h. - Run the Radiance case from the source files generated by the previous step (IDFToHoneybeeRadiance) using RunHoneybeeRadiance. The command to run this is
python run_HBradiance.py -p <analysis points file> -sm <sky matrix file> -s <surfaces file> -o <results output directory> -q <quality of simulation>. The usage of this command can be found by runningpython run_HBradiance.py -h.
