Grasshopper plugin for installation analysis of photoelectrocatalytic building materials and flexible solar cells

A systematic design method for green buildings based on the combined system of flexible solar cells and reactors on buildings

[paper]

introduction

The article proposes a model that comprehensively considers ecological and economic benefits.

This plug-in is the implementation of the model in the article, as well as the data analysis part of article.

In order to interact with the building model, it is implemented as a plug-in in the grasshopper platform in Rhino, which is a commonly used CAD.

You can use it by opening the demo file directly in the grasshopper platformMaterialInstallation v1.0.0
