Free Grasshopper Definition: Honeybee Full Building Energy Model
Original title: Honeybee Energy sample: full_building_energy_model.gh
Overview
full_building_energy_model.gh is an official Honeybee Energy sample from Ladybug Tools LLC, hosted in the honeybee-grasshopper-energy GitHub repository. It builds a full multi-zone building energy model from Rhino geometry, defining rooms, apertures, constructions, programs and schedules, then runs an EnergyPlus/OpenStudio simulation and visualizes the results, a complete building energy modeling (BEM) workflow on one canvas.
You need Ladybug Tools 1.x with Honeybee Energy and the free OpenStudio/EnergyPlus engines; the file is AGPL-3.0 and a free direct download, sitting next to 25 other samples such as shoe_box_energy_model.gh, photovoltaics.gh and simple_natural_ventilation.gh. Aimed at architects and engineers starting with energy simulation in Grasshopper.
